(Mass Appeal) – It’s almost Easter and a fun family craft you can do with your kids or grandkids is making filled Easter eggs. Maureen Basile, Owner of Maureen’s Sweet Shoppe, is here to show us how to make these treats the kids will love.
Supplies For all:
Plastic egg holder
Cooking Spray
Chocolate
Spoon
Fork
Colored foil
Sprinkles
Decorator icing
For all: Spray egg holders with cooking spray. With your finger, rub the spray over each egg cup.
CAUTION: Children should not handle hot caramel or hot marshmallow. If you want to do this with kids, warm the caramel so that it is soft, but not melted. Form egg shape by hand. When caramel is in its liquid state it is quite hot and will cause serious burns.
