Hot Glue all 4 candy boxes together to make a square. It’s best to use Movie theater style candy boxes which you can find at Walmart and the Dollar Store.
Cut a square piece of cardboard to fit the bottom of your candy boxes. Hot glue it on to the bottom.
Next, glue the ends of the laffy taffy ropes or nerd ropes to one side of the candy boxes and then do the same on the opposite side. (This becomes the handle) Then, tie the candy handle together with some pretty ribbon.
Fill the bottom with Easter grass.
Add your favorite treats, toys, and Easter eggs for a perfect candy box Easter basket.
