All the Sweets! No Images? Click here How to Assemble the Perfect Easter BasketNo disrespect to the Easter Bunny, but there's a reason he plays second fiddle to Santa Claus each year. It's that ho-hum basket he leaves. Sure, we appreciate the thought, but it's pretty much the same thing year after year: some fake plastic grass concealing a small forest of tinfoil-wrapped treats, a cream-filled egg, and a hollowed-out chocolate bunny that crumbles into waxy shards after just one bite. So this year, we're offering some suggestions on how our favorite bucktoothed home invader can make his basket a whole lot sweeter. Below are some of our favorites. With its colorful cases of turquoise, pink, and lavender, Sugarfina has Easter-themed packaging down to a science. Luckily, what lies within these customizable bento boxes is no less delightful: an array of brightly hued speckled eggs and chewy gummies that you can pick and choose to satisfy any palate. There are plenty of upscale jelly beans out there, but we have yet to meet a single one that can usurp the Jelly Belly throne. Get fancy with a 40-flavor gift box, grab a 99-cent bag at the grocery store, or explore the company's myriad experimental collections—there's no wrong way to put these jellies in your basket...or your belly. Chocolate bunnies may be the Easter basket mainstay, but even the cutest-looking rabbits tend to be bland, waxy, and cloyingly sweet. When we reviewed over 20 different kinds of chocolate bunnies, the best of the dark-chocolate bunch was from Harbor Sweets. Beneath the chocolate shell, you'll find pieces of caramel, pecans, almonds, and butter-crunch toffee. L.A. Burdick's assortments are almost too pretty to eat, but they're not all about looks. White-chocolate lovers who don't shy away from serious sweetness will enjoy the Signature Bunny Box, with its perky, hazelnut-filled rabbits and colorful, sugar-encrusted marzipan eggs.

How to Make Sous Vide Chicken Wings
Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here Sous Vide Buffalo Chicken Wings Can Buffalo wings be made even better when cooked sous vide first? We think so. The low-and-slow cook in a hot-water bath makes the meat incredibly tender and juicy without drying it out; frying it afterwards sizzles the skin so that it's golden and crispy. After that, it takes just a toss in the classic sauce of Frank's RedHot and butter. The Kitchen Essential Immersion Circulator More Sous Vide Projects (Hey, Weekend Plans 👋) |
