Preparation

Freeze it: Most chocolate candies freeze and defrost well. And some taste even better frozen; we’re particularly partial to adding crumbled ice cold mini Robin’s Eggs to ice cream. Melt it: Use your double boiler to turn that chocolate bunny into chocolate sauce to use as fondu or ice cream topping.Get creative, from Peeps s’mores to Reeses Peanut Butter Egg cookies, use your Easter goodies to liven up baked good treat.

Safely dyed-check the packaging and make sure that you’ve used a food-safe food coloring for your edible art.Safely hidden-after the Easter egg hunt, discard any hard cooked eggs with cracked shells; this is especially important for those that were hidden on the ground or in other places that are prone to collecting moisture, dirt, or bacteria.Safely refrigerated - after they’ve been cooked, eggs should be out of the fridge for no more than 2 hours, so if any eggs eluded capture longer than that during your hunt, better to toss them. The USDA also recommends eating them within 7 days of cooking.
