Remember coloring Easter eggs? Always going to be fun and probably a spill or two when the Paas coloring kit came out. The plastic eggs work well to decorate and I have found that the plastic sleeve in the Paas kit adheres to them with no issues. Simply dip the sleeve enclosed egg is lightly boiling water until the sleeve shrinks to the egg. So quick and easy and can be used the next year.
Last year I painted egg cartons and cut them up to use for centerpieces. Eggs, candy, flowers and tea light candles in egg shells look festive.
This year was much better because my sweet sister, Mary Beth, gave me some spring colored egg cartons. She’s very thoughtful that way. Fun to fill with eggs, decorate with and give as gifts.
Oreo truffles are a hit around here so I made Easter egg truffles. Combine 1 package crushed oreos and 8 ounces cream cheese. Roll out between two sheets of parchment paper.
I used these cookie cutters I bought from Amazon.
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator while you melt and color the candy melts or almond bark. Dip and have fun decorating.
Wafer cookies are a nice treat to have also.
Have fun being creative and spending time with your family and friends this Easter!
