Place a decorative filler such as colorful shredded paper or tissue paper in the bottom of the basket.
Package the cupcakes in individual plastic boxes to protect them. Alternatively, wrap them individually in colored cellophane.
Arrange the cupcake boxes and candy bars in the basket. Stack the cupcake boxes neatly in the bottom of the basket and stand the candy bars up around the perimeter. Alternatively, alternate the cupcakes and some of the candy bars. Fan the remaining candy bars around the cupcakes on both sides.
Choose a wide ribbon in a color that coordinates with the basket filler. Tie the ribbon into a bow at the top of the basket's handle. Tie two ribbons into bows at each end of the basket handle.
