It's Easter ALREADY?! Arg! Last minute Easter ideas for the family. For adult/teenage eyes only!

So, worse has come to worse and the unthinkable has happened: you've been working a lot and haven't had time to do that rather important and, as far as the kids go, unforgivable piece of shopping, so you're in a mad rush and get to the store at the last minute, but the store has run out of chocolate Easter eggs and Easter bunnies. The Easter Bunny's not coming this year? This is unbelievable! Easter is ruined! How could this possible be salvaged?! Well, there is a way to salvage Easter and I know the way. It's not so much of a secret, as many people in different parts of the world do this, especially those who want to save a few dollars here and there, but it's new to those who spend hundreds of dollars (or more realistically, $50) on chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies for the children.

Many festivities have become really commercialized these days: Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, the Fourth of July, Halloween... we've lost the true meaning of these holidays!

Well, enough with the true meaning of these holidays like spending time with the family and celebrating both Jesus' birthday, the day He died and His return from the dead, and more about salvaging Easter for the children (eg. CHOCOLATE)! We go crazy for chocolate, don't we? Or at least children do.

So, what you're going to want to do is buy a Silicone Egg Mould for $6.99, which has been reduced to $3.49 from Spotlight (and get as many as you can!), cooking chocolate from your local supermarket, and get a recipe off the Internet (unless you're so resourceful and you just pour the melted chocolate straight into the mould and either into the oven or fridge to set). I came across a few recipes for Easter eggs. Here they are):

This one is simply called "Home Made Easter Eggs"

This one is called "Marbled Easter Eggs"

This is a recipe for hollow eggs simply called "Chocolate Eggs".

There's a delicious Easter egg (and bunnies) made out of Nutella for you to try.

You can also use the above recipes for Easter bunnies, just modify the recipe to suit.

I hope you have found this tip useful and you have a merry and safe Easter weekend!

I will try to post more after the Easter long weekend (Tuesday).
