Easter Basket Challenge: The Baskets.

You've all been waiting in suspense. We just know it. 

A delicious little chocolate from Chicago's Candyality - on Southport.

Pardon our tardiness, we were doing a little traveling over a much deserved spring break vacation. I am fortunate enough to work where the fun never ends and we get awesome things like spring breaks, holidays off, and 3:30 dismissal everyday (oh, and sometimes 3:00). 

Peruse our pictures and you decide the winner! 
Update: voting has ended as of 5/1/2012.
