Things You'll Need

• raw egg egg dye toothpick 4 M&M candies 1 ounce white bakers chocolate double boiler bowl

Instructions

1. Color your eggs. You will want to color your Easter eggs before you put the egg car together. Do not boil them as you normally would, instead go ahead and dye them raw. You will need egg dye, which can be found in any grocery store in the weeks leading up to Easter. Each person will need at least one egg per car. Once your eggs are colored, let them dry completely before moving on to the next step.

2. Blow out the insides. Using a toothpick, carefully poke a tiny hole in the small tip of the egg. Next, poke a hole in the bottom, this time making it slightly larger. Holding your egg over a bowl, slowly and steadily blow into the small hole so that you push the yolk and raw white of the egg out of the egg shell. This can take time, so do not worry if you egg take longer to blow out than you are expecting. Once your egg shell is emptied, you can move onto the next step.

3. Attach the wheels. Your egg car is now ready to have the wheels attached. Melt a little bit of white baker's chocolate in a double boiler until it is just melted, and swipe a little bit of chocolate onto the place where one wheel will be. Quickly place an M&M on top of the white chocolate dollop. Hold it in place until the white chocolate hardens. Repeat this process for the other 3 wheels. You can now display your egg car for Easter.
