Keto Easter Basket Ideas?

So every year I do an Easter basket for myself and my SO but this year with doing Keto I'm a bit of loss for the basket. My ideas so far are some jerky, pork rinds and some sugar free candies.

Anyone out there have any other ideas or things you do instead? Thanks!

    I would probably look into doing a cheese board, with some various types of meats - pepperoni, salami, prosciutto, etc. I would also maybe look at mixing up some spice stuffs to mix into sour cream or mayo to make dips for the pork rinds. Extra dark chocolate (this week I'm falling in love with 90%).... Maybe 4 super dark chocolate dipped strawberries? Are you wanting it to be at room temp for an extended time? Maybe some specialty pickles?? Olives, etc.? Something you've wanted to try but not wanted to indulge in the cost of? An awesome expensive roast of coffee??

    Oh, and maybe @Sunny_Bunny_ 's recipe of coconut flakes, extra dark chocolate, and ... I always forget the third ingredient - some sort of nut??

    TMI warning..Got some Jelly Belly Sugar Free jelly beans. Small package (2 servings) but ate them all at one sitting. Consequently up in the middle of the night to the bathroom a few times. Sigh.. Not sure it was worth it.

    Yeah, that's yummy!
    You could get a cute tin or something and create a little "trail mix" with unsweetened coconut flakes (I like Let's Do Organic brand, the flakes are really big). Then either buy cacao nibs or just shave some dark chocolate and toss that in. You can add salted almonds if you like sweet and salty together, or go unsalted. Macadamia nuts would be awesome too. Shelled pumpkin or sunflower seeds would be good.

    I did packets of wildflower seeds, that I'll plant with the kids.

    Might be a cute idea to do with a SO too.

    Well, at least Easter eggs aren't out of the question!

    I saw this recipe last year, but have not tried them. It has been literally decades since I tasted one of the original Cadbury eggs, so maybe it is time to try it. :p
