I started with this adorable Berry Basket Die by Lori Whitlock!

berry basketI found the most adorable polka dot paper at my local craft store!  It is perfect and matches the salty sweet treat I placed inside the berry basket!

1. Die-cut from desired material and apply adhesive to the back side of the paper as indicated.
step one
2. With the good side facing up, adhere each side piece to the base and apply adhesive to the side tabs
step 2
3. Fold the sides up and adhere each tab to its corresponding side. Embellish as desired.
step 3Here is my little basket! It is so cute!  I just love it!
I filled it with the Salty Sweet Treat Mix and then placed it in a cellophane bag.  I used the cute tag on the outside of the bag to personalize the treat and to designate who the gift was going to!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag popcorn popped I use the 94% fat free
  • 7 oz. almond bark
  • 8 oz spring sixlets you can find these at Walmart
  • 1 Bag Bugles snack
  • colored jimmies

Instructions
 

  • Place the popped popcorn and Bugles in a large bowl. In a medium, microwave safe bowl, heat the almond bark in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each time, until melted and smooth (follow instructions on package for melting).
  • Allow to cool for about 30 seconds. Drizzle the almond bark over the popcorn mixture and stir to coat. When popcorn is coated spread out on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper, top with sixlets and jimmies (if desired) and let cool. Break into pieces and serve in a large bowl or package in individual holiday bags.
