Easter Egg Lunch Hunt

After an Easter Egg hunt I find myself telling my Children, 
"You can choose three eggs.  If you eat too much candy you could get sick!"

With this special egg hunt you can surprise your Children by saying,
 "Go ahead and eat everything in all your eggs!"


You'll need Jumbo size Easter Eggs & an assortment of finger foods.  Be creative!  What ever you can think of that will fit in your eggs.
Some of the things we put in our eggs were: Carrots, Cheese sticks (cut & folded in half), Grapes, Goldfish crackers, Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwiches (cut in half then cut in thirds), and Cookies. 

Go outside and hide your eggs... let the hunt begin!

To make sure all our children got one of each food variety we had them hunt for their very own color.  If you have a large group you can have them search for one of each color.  (Just make sure you fill each color with the same food.  Example: All yellow eggs have grapes, all blue eggs have crackers...)

After all the eggs are found sit down together for a picnic lunch!

As we ate our Easter egg lunch we talked of all the kinds of foods we could put in our eggs next year.  We were even thinking of breakfast foods! 
Have fun!

Peep Pops

I am not the biggest Peeps fan, but I just couldn’t resist how cute they look when dipped in chocolate!

So here is one for all you Peep lovers.  =)

What You’ll Need:
- Dipping chocolate or chocolate bark (I used milk and white chocolate)
- Peeps
- Lollipop sticks (found at craft stores) or other type of sticks (I used some wooden skewers I had on hand and cut the pointy tip off of them)
- Various sprinkles

The How To:
- First melt your chocolate according to the directions on the package.

- Then dip the end of the stick into the chocolate to help the peep stay on the stick better.
- Let it cool a little bit before sticking your peep on the end of it.
Photobucket
- Next using a spoon put the chocolate all over the peep.
Photobucket
- To help smooth out the chocolate and to make it cover the peep evenly I tapped the stick on the side of my bowl to help the excess drip off the peep.
Photobucket
- When it stopped dripping I then spooned/ shook/ or sprinkled the different sprinkles on the chocolate peep.  (to help avoid a big mess and waisting all your sprinkles, place a bowl/plate/ or other dish under it as you ad sprinkles)
Photobucket
- I placed them upright while they dried/hardened.  I used a paper cup and poked some holes in it with the sticks.  You could also use some styrofoam to stick them in (but I didn’t have that on hand so I opted for a paper cup)
Photobucket
- As soon as they are hardened you can enjoy them!  =)
