Easter’s coming up, and I know some of you love the holiday, and quite a few more of you love the chocolate, so! Dyeing eggs was always my favorite thing about Easter, even more than trying to find them the next morning.
If your local stores haven’t been inundated with dye packs, here’s handy instructions on how to dye eggs using natural dyes. If you feel like going the full distance, here’s instructions on how to make real chocolate filled eggs. These always fascinated me as a kid, they’re much easier to make than you might imagine, and they’re so much fun to crack open, especially when they have a surprise inside!
Or, if you’re a lazy, discount chocolate muncher like me, pick up some Peeps at the store, along with chocolate bars and graham crackers, and make S’meeps! They’re delicious and slightly subversive, just the way I like my post-holiday candy. You can also microwave them — just be careful, the Peeps don’t actually lose shape when they’re heated, so stick to about 15-20 seconds and let them cool first, lest you end up with a burned finger / Peep bite!
