Easter Basket Challenge

The hubcap and I are having a challenge. An EASTER BASKET CHALLENGE.

First, allow me a moment to reminisce. When my brothers and I were younger, my parents put together the most incredible Easter Baskets (if I were in Ohio and had access to lots of cute pictures of the past, I'd post them now). Anywho, these baskets were pretty great. Always complete with a chocolate bunny (white for me, thank you very much) reese's peanut butter eggs (DUH), peeps, our dyed eggs, and always a great present to top it off. Ah, nostalgia. 

As we got older, wiser and more mature, so did our baskets. In recent years the chocolate bunnies have been replaced with wine and boozy candy, but the peanut butter eggs are a staple (don't mind if I do). 

(looks like someone got into them...)

Being away from home, we weren't sure of the status of our Easter baskets. We decided to take our matters into our own hands and concoct a challenge to motivate each other to put together the ultimate basket. 

THE EASTER BASKET CHALLENGE. 

Here are the rules:

1) No more than $50. Total. 

2) One libation.

3) Something homemade.

4) Something sweet. 

The wheels were set in motion awhile ago (think, at least a month) and today, a week before Easter, J. asks me if we can go all halvies on the homemade portion. PSSSH. 

Stay tuned, folks. 

Who do you think will come out on top? Any suggestions?

.... not that I need it. I've got this one in the basket.
