Ingredients:
Eggs
The main ingredient for this recipe is, of course, eggs. You'll need a dozen or more, depending on how many baskets you plan to make. It's always a good idea to have some extra eggs on hand in case of any mishaps.
Food coloring
For that vibrant Easter look, food coloring is a must. You can use liquid or gel food coloring, whichever you prefer. You can also mix colors to create different shades, making your Easter egg baskets truly unique.
Vinegar
To help the food coloring adhere to the eggs, you'll need a splash of vinegar. You can use any type of vinegar, but white vinegar works best.
Boiling water
To cook the eggs, you'll need boiling water. Make sure to use a large pot so that the eggs can be fully submerged.
Candy melts
For that extra touch of sweetness, we'll be using candy melts to decorate our Easter egg baskets. You can find these in the baking aisle of your local grocery store.
Decorative accents
To make our Easter egg baskets truly stand out, we'll be adding some decorative accents. These can include ribbons, stickers, glitter, or anything else you can think of to make your baskets unique and eye-catching.
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the eggs
Start by hard-boiling your eggs. Place them in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and let the eggs cook for about 10 minutes. Once done, drain the water and let the eggs cool down.
Step 2: Coloring the eggs
In a bowl, mix together the food coloring, vinegar, and boiling water. You can use as many colors as you'd like to create a variety of colored eggs. Carefully place the eggs in the mixture and let them sit for about 5 minutes. The longer you leave them, the more intense the color will be.
Step 3: Decorating the eggs
Once the eggs are fully dry, it's time to get creative and decorate them. You can use the candy melts to create fun and colorful designs on the eggs. Let your imagination run wild and have fun with it!
Step 4: Assembling the baskets
To assemble the baskets, you'll need to cut off the top third of the eggs. This will create the basket handle. Be careful not to cut too close to the top, as the handle needs to be sturdy. Then, gently remove the yolks and fill the eggs with your favorite treats. You can use candy, small toys, or even small chocolate eggs.
Step 5: Adding the finishing touches
To make your Easter egg baskets truly unique, add some decorative accents. You can tie ribbons around the handles, add stickers or glitter, or even paint on some designs. Get creative and make each basket one of a kind.
Now that your Easter egg baskets are complete, it's time to hide them and watch as your family and friends hunt for them. These homemade baskets are not only fun to make but also make for a delicious and unique Easter treat. Happy Easter!
