Easter Eggs



These are fun and easy to make using 100% food storage items! Oh, and did I mention that they're delicious?! Yep, very delicious!

MARSHMALLOW FILLED
Soften 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin in 2 tablespoons of cold water. Add this mixture to 1 cup boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Put into a large mixing bowl and add 2 cups sugar, pinch of salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat until thick like divinity, about 10 minutes. Put flour in bottom of 2 pans. Press an egg into flour to make mold. Fill molds with marshmallow mixture, let set. Dip eggs in melted chocolate. Pour chocolate on top. Let set.



FLAVORED FILLING
Dissolve 4 tablespoons Jell-o (any flavor) in 1 cup boiling water. Dissolve 2 envelopes gelatin in 4 tablespoons cold water. Then pour into jello water, add 2 cups sugar, pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until thickens and forms soft peaks, consistency of whipped cream. Pour into flour mold, let set. Dip in melted chocolate. Pour chocolate on top. Let set.



Beat until thick...


like divinity, about 10 minutes.

    I'm SO excited to try these. My mother's favorite Easter treat is Chocolate covered marshmallow eggs. I'm excited to make these up and wrap them up in cellophane and give them to her to enjoy.

    I love the helpful information on your site. I just got put in as our Emergency Preparedness/Food Storage Specialist in our ward and I am finding all kinds of helpful information to share with the sisters in our ward.

    Thanks for everything! Have a wonderful day!
