  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2  cups          Brown sugar
   2      teaspoons     Corn syrup
     1/2  cup           Milk
     1/4  cup           Butter or margarine
   6      large         Shredded wheat biscuits

Combine sugar, syrup, milk, and butter or margarine. Cok in a heavily
buttered saucepan, stirring occasionally, to the soft ball stage (238-
240). Pour hot syrup over shredded wheat biscuits that have been
crumbled into a buttered bowl. Mix well and pack into well-buttered
muffin pans, shaping to form cups for baskets. Chill until firm. To
serve, unmold and fill centers with candy Easter eggs. Peaches or
berries are good served with whipoped cream in the baskets, also.
