I'm still hoping to get mine done. Ended up in the hospital after a mild heart attack and will be having a heart cath and most likely stents put in tomorrow so we didn't make the trip to Madison after all. But I still have a slight delay in getting my entry done.
I was also planning to use Rice Crispie treats for my basic foundation, so thanks for the tip about letting it set overnight!!

I know what you come up would be outstanding - but do take care of yourself.
Good luck on your cath tomorrow
30 minutes after posting my entry, the basket fell apart - wish I had posted a pic, it would have given those rockin' deviled eggs a run for their glory.
