Candy Fried Eggs For Easter

This week on Instagram, I got to playing with plastic Easter eggs in ombre shades.  Then a light bulb went off and I remembered I have this awesome candy mold that has a fried egg cavity…candy fried eggs for Easter! Yes, I have a candy mold for everything…I may or may not have a few bins worth…

Then the wheels really started spinning and I thought ‘Hmm…I can take this a step further! I can use my fried egg design from my Easter tattoos and I could tweak it into custom treat bags.

My boys are older and doing Easter egg hunts are a thing of the past.  So, I found a way to still have some egg fun and something they could share with their friends that would actually want to share.

It was easy to print the design on 5 X 7 white paper bags (check out this post to learn how) and add a candy friend egg or two.

You are probably wondering how I colored the egg yolks.  It’s all about melting the appropriate color and ‘painting’ the yolk cavity with a pointy, plastic tool.  My weapon of choice is a plastic knife.  The bigger trick is covering the rest of it with white candy melt after the yolk cools and solidifies.  If the white melt is too warm, it will also heat up the ‘yolk’ and cause the color to melt again and  bleed the color into the white candy.  Let the white melt cool to lukewarmish, then fill the cavity, taping carefully to loosen any air bubbles.

I know, April Fool’s has already passed so bookmark this idea for next year!  Or maybe you are thinking about making green eggs and ham for Dr. Seuss Day?  Breakfast party favors? I know, lots of ideas…do you have any ideas for candy fried eggs?
