3+ Fun Easter Recipes you Can Make with Your Kids

• In a large pot or saucepan, melt the buttery spread or butter over low heat.
• Once buttery spread/butter is melted, add in marshmallows and stir quickly until the mixture is completely melted.

  *Note: Have patience and stick with it, these marshmallows take a little longer to melt than traditional marshmallows*
• Remove from heat and add in the vanilla and stir until combined.
• Add the crispy rice cereal. Mix until everything is combined well.
• After the mixture has cooled, put a bit of buttery spread or butter on your fingertips, take a small amount of the crispy rice mixture and mould into the shape of bird nests.
• Fill each nest with a few beans (or treat of your choice).

Preparing and Cooking the Eggs

• Hard boil the eggs: Fill a large pot with water and a splash of white vinegar and boil on the stovetop over high heat. Once water is boiling, add in the dozen eggs carefully so they do not crack (you can use a large slotted spoon to lower the egg in).
• Cook for 10 minutes. Do not over cook as this will cause the outer layer of the yolk to turn grey/green. To help avoid this more, be sure to put eggs in ice cold water as soon as they are removed from the stove.
• Once eggs are completely cooled, cut a very thin layer of the bottom off so the egg can sit standing up. You will then need to make an additional cut about ¼ from the top of the egg. Do not discard this part of the egg as it will be put back on top once eggs are filled. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

Making the Filling

• Remove all yolks from the eggs carefully so the structure of the egg is not damaged (depending on the age of your child, it may be best for you to take the reins on this part) and place yolks into a mixing bowl.
• Mash up the yolks using a spatula, and add the mayonnaise, mustard, white vinegar, pepper, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until combined well (if the mixture is too thick, add a bit more mayonnaise until the desired consistency is reached – you do not want it to be too runny otherwise the shape of the yolk will not hold).

Finishing Up

• Fill your piping bag or plastic baggy (cut the tip off so you create your own piping bag) with the yolk mixture and pipe it into each of the hole openings in the eggs, makings sure that enough comes out to act as the chick head.
• Once all eggs are filled, place the remaining cut portion back on top of the yolk, being careful not to squish it.
• Cut small eyes from the black olives and a nose from the shredded carrots and add them to each deviled egg chicky.

• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or a whisk, blend all the ingredients together until smooth (mix, eggs, buttery spread and milk). To make different flavoured pancakes, you can also mix in chocolate chips, blueberries or any other flavour you desire.
• Heat a small amount of oil on the griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour a small amount of pancake batter to form the head of the bunny. Flip when tiny bubbles form on top and cook until the bottom of the pancake is golden brown.
• Repeat with a slightly larger amount of pancake mix for a larger circle to form the bottom (the body of the bunny).
• Then using a squeeze bottle, piping bag or a plastic baggy, form the ears and the paws of the bunny.
• Once you’ve made all the parts, you can start putting together the bunny starting with the ears, head, body and paws.
• Pipe the coconut whipping cream to create the tail and sprinkle some of the shredded coconut on the whipped cream.
• Add a banana slice and chocolate chips to create the paws.
• Serve with maple syrup, buttery spread, fresh organic berries or any other delicious toppings.
