Easter Memories: Kabob's, Colored Deviled Eggs, & Chocolate Covered Oreo's

We went ahead and had some kitchen fun this afternoon. We did our own version of the Easter Kabobs, which turned out to be everything but Kabobs.

The only thing not pictured is the huge dish of egg-salad that I made, but you will see what we did with the rest of the eggs further down in the post.

This is half of the block of chocolate (half inch thick) that we are waiting to add to the pan to melt. This is Ambrosia chocolate chunks that we got on sale and I ended up freezing.

Here is the other half, nearly fully melted. Let me say, it took much restraint for all of us not to lick out of the pan.

Marshmallows that we used. We decided to throw in the Giant Marshmallows that included both Strawberry and Vanilla flavored ones.

These candy sprinkle container and the dish of sprinke decorations I got on sale for $1.00 a piece.

The kids were then let loose in the kitchen to do whatever they wanted. No "mommy" involvement was one of the rules.

Each of two kids that participated worked at their own " creation stations"

Here is two of the "creations" using the HUGE marshmallows.

These are animal cookies that we took from the cupboard, I am sure that "Cheeky Monkey" won't mind a bit with the alterations.

He was being very careful when creating, it amazed me who deliberate he was with each of his designs.

Then they grabbed a bag of pretzels. Some they stuck into the mini marshmallows and dunked in chocolate. Others they slathered in chocolate and decorated.

Here is the platter with all of their creations added. They ate quite a few before we could get them on the platter.

Here are the deviled eggs that we made. Since there are only two of us in the family that eat them, we only made a few. I love how these were so easy to make and they make such a dramatic colorful display. All we had to do was boil the eggs like normal when cooking hard boiled eggs. Wait for the eggs to cool a bit, peel, and drop into cups with food coloring {of choice} added. We let them dry on paper-towels before cutting.

We ran out of filling so here are two egg halves sitting and waiting to be eaten. They were shortly after this was taken. We made about 50 eggs in all, most ending up in the egg-salad.
