Making Fake Eggs and Bacon

While the kids are outside soaking up the spring sunshine, you can whip up a sneaky “eggs and bacon” snack that is sure to be a hit!

Gather your Ingredients

  • White Chocolate Chips
  • Yellow M & M’s
  • Chewy Caramels
  • Tootsie Rolls

Fake the Eggs and Bacon

White chocolate "egg" whites with M&M yolks on wax paper

Prepare the “Eggs”

  • Melt a handful of white chocolate chips in the microwave.
  • Transfer the melted chocolate into a sandwich bag, snipping off a corner to create a piping bag.
  • On a sheet of wax paper, pipe out shapes to resemble egg whites.
  • Place a yellow M&M (letter side down) in the center of each blob to mimic egg yolks.

Craft the “Bacon”

  • Slightly soften Tootsie Rolls and caramels in the microwave for about ten seconds.
  • Press them onto wax paper then shape and stretch them into rectangular strips.
  • Use a knife to add lines, enhancing the bacon appearance.
  • Allow them to cool and harden.

Complete the Surprise

  • Once everything is set, arrange the faux egg and bacon on a plate.
  • Present the playful snack to your family and enjoy their reactions as they discover the sweet deception.

This sweet and tasty snack is the kind of lighthearted prank we like to play on April Fools Day. A joke is the most fun when EVERYBODY enjoys it!
