Crackle Easter Eggs

Why have plain old eggs when you can make colorful crackle eggs? Just boil, crack, color, and peel!

 Ingredients

  • 12 lg. eggs, hard-boiled
  • 6-12 Wilton food coloring gels, your choice

 Directions

  1. Hard boil 12 eggs, set aside to cool. Gently tap the eggs to crack them, leaving shells attached to the eggs.
  2. Line two 9×13-inch pans with paper towels (to catch spills and splatters). Place 6 mugs in each pan. Add desired food coloring gel into each cup and fill with 1 cup boiling water.
  3. Drop one cracked egg into each of the 12 colors. Make sure that the colored water covers the eggs completely. Place pans in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours OR overnight. 
  4. When ready, gently peel back the shells and enjoy the unique designs. Now they’re ready to eat! Sprinkle with salt and pepper, a dash of Frank’s red hot sauce or make Deviled Eggs.
