That was my favorite thing about easter and I never had one. They were not to eat. they were white surgar stuff and decorated with frosting or something hard. There was a round hole at the end and you would look in there and there was some Easter scene. what happened to them?

they are made of sugar and egg white

Oh, you are bringing back memories, and I am showing my age LOL

I remember those, they were beautiful. The Govt probably thought they had too much sugar and were bad for us and banned them.

Here is a tute on making them....

ENJOY! and make sure you show us pics!!! :):):)

Years ago I made three of them for my two granddaughters and for a friends daughter. I don't have the recipe any longer but they were not that difficult to make. I'll have to look at the tutorial. The only problem I had was getting a scene together for the inside but eventually with tiny jelly beans and grass and tiny baby chicks it worked out.

You are bringing back such great memories. They were so pretty.

I just saw some at Bed Bath/Beyond - right by the registers! I couldn't believe it. I didn't think anyone made them anymore.

My mother used to make them every year..I still have one saved for my daughter.

I, too, always wanted one & never got it. :cry: I'll Have to check out Bed & Bath.
