How to Dye Easter Eggs (without leaving a mess on your hands)
Ready to get started? Here's what you'll need:
- Gel food coloring
- 8 oz. of whipped topping
- 12 hard-boiled eggs
- 2 cups of vinegar
STEP ONE
To help the hard-boiled eggs absorb the color, soak them in vinegar for 10 minutes, remove and pat dry.
STEP TWO
Spread whipped topping in a 9×13 glass dish. Place a few drops of food coloring onto the whipped topping and carefully use a knife or toothpick to incorporate the colors. For the best results, remember to leave a little white.
STEP THREE
Roll the eggs around in the whipped topping and wait 5-10 minutes to let the dye set.
To avoid ending up with hands as colorful as your eggs, now would be a good time to grab some hand wipes and clean all of the dye and whipped topping from your hands. Make sure to get around your nails and in between your fingers.
STEP FOUR
Place eggs in a bowl of water and gently shake to remove excess whipped topping. Pat dry with a paper towel or dish towel. Allow eggs to sit until they have dried completely.
Now would be another great time to grab some Wet Ones and wipe away any remaining colorful or sticky mess from your hands.
