I usually like to keep it simple in this space so I will warn you that this recipe takes a bit of time. There are multiple steps but I do think the payoff is worth it!

Easter eggs are fun to color and hide, but I’ve always hated the idea of wasting food. Sure, you could eat them afterwards, but given that they’re green-ring-around-the-yolk hardboiled, they don’t taste very good, and do you really want to be eating eggs that have been sitting out in the sun for hours?

I tried to make homemade peeps this week and I failed miserably, over and over and over. I finally gave up on it and remembered that they’re kinda gross anyway. I never really liked ‘em as a kid and always loved those Cadbury pastel chocolate mini eggs way more!
