How to make alien eggs!
Bamboozle your buddies with this out-of-this-world snack recipe…
Are you getting ready for spooky season? Or heading to a birthday party for a friend who’s fascinated by space? Then it’s time to make alien eggs! This egg-xcellent snack will terrify AND delight them…
What you’ll need…
Hard-boiled eggs (cooled)
Teaspoon
Ziplock bags
Food colouring
Step 1
Make cracks in the shells of your hard-boiled eggs by hitting them firmly with a teaspoon on all sides.
Step 2
Put each egg in a separate ziplock bag and sprinkle a few drops of food colouring on top. Then fasten the bags.
Step 3
Gently move the eggs around so the surface gets covered with food colouring. You’ll probably need to leave the eggs soaking in the colour for about 10 minutes. Pale colours may need longer.
Step 4
Rinse off your eggs, then leave them to dry. Next, gently peel off the shell to reveal your alien egg patterns!
Step 5
Now gobble up your alien eggs. Don’t worry – they don’t taste as weird as they look!
TOP TIP!
If your alien eggs are part of a Halloween celebration, whip up some spooky witches’ fingers, too!
