Colored Boiled Easter Eggs
"These are a great little snack I like to make for Easter. I serve them as is, but they can be used to make devilled eggs also. When choosing glasses to let the eggs sit in, make sure you do not use anything that can stain. Light coloured coffee mugs are not a good idea for this!! To serve, I return them to the egg carton they came in. The kids usually get a kick out of opening up the carton and seeing the multicoloured eggs inside. The cook time listed for this recipe is the time to boil the eggs."
