After seeing Easter bunny shaped boxes of chocolates at the grocery store, I knew I needed to make a fake bake version, check it out:

For this project I started with an empty Ferrero Rocher candy box. Enjoy the candies, clean the packaging and you are ready to go!
Tip - I like to use hot water to loosen up any sticky labels.
I wanted my candies to be nestled into the box so I glued in these mini cupcake liners. They were plain on the inside and green on the outside, so I just flipped them around before using the hot glue. This way there is a nice pop of color visible at all times.
Using a couple of silicone ice cube trays I made my candy shapes with plaster. Once dry I painted with acrylic and then detailed with puffy paint.
This post will walk you through using plaster.
This Amazon link will get you the larger bunny mold, but check Dollar Tree first. I found mine there and they are only $1.25! I wasn't able to find them on Dollar Tree's website but if you do, please add the link in the comments. Thank you! I can't remember where I found the small bunny mold, sorry!
Here is how the finished candies look all tucked in together. I didn't worry about trying to make them fix exactly into the compartments and just layered them however I liked.
With the candies done I moved onto the box. A simple coating of acrylic paint in brown followed with a gold, puffy paint outline and I was happy!
And here you have the finished product, a fake bake box of Easter candies!
