Bouna Pasqua, Happy Easter everyone! We have been very busy little bunnies over here!! We have had a lot of fun creating Easter treats for the Easter Bunny and celebrations we have. I don't know about you, but Peeps are a big thing in our house, well, with everyone except me!! My children and husband LOVE LOVE LOVE peeps! So I decided as part of dessert this year to try out this Peeps S'mores Dip... what a hit!!! I served it with graham crackers and cut up fruit!
We also decided to make some yummy pretzel nests, these can also be made with crunchy noodles! I simply made them like I do rice kripsies- butter and marshmallow melted together, add pretzels and form! We then added some egg m&m's while warm and sticky!!
Gianna's class party was the other day and I made these adorable additions- Fruit Bunny Platter & rice krispie nests- always a big hit!!
Finally, we tried out making cool whip eggs! WHAT FUN and they turned out much better than I expected. These can also be made with shaving cream, but Tommy still loves putting new things in his mouth, so I went with cool whip!!
Ingredients:
*Hardboiled eggs
*Neon food coloring (regular works as well but will be less vibrant)
*Cool Whip (can use shaving cream)
*Shallow plastic pins (a cookie sheet would be fine if using shaving cream)
I thawed the cool whip over night so it would be the right consistency. I let each kid pick two colors per container. You simply add cool whip to the container and spread around, add a few drips of cool whip and mix around and twirl. Add eggs and mix around, make sure they are covered all over. I then let the eggs sit about 30-45 minutes. Take each egg and dip into a bowl of cool water and shake off the cool whip, don't run under water as the color could wash off. I gently patted each egg dry and let them sit in the egg crate overnight in the fridge to set.
The colors were vibrant and this was a really fun way to decorate eggs. You could absolutely add stickers and decorations, but we loved them the way they were!!
Happy Easter from our family to yours!!
