Now I have to check them out. Anything the gov't thinks has too much sugar is right up my alley. LOL. Thanks for sharing. I can't find the original easter eggs marshmallow anywhere close to me. SO sad. LOL I can look at the picture though. They are like large jelly beans. Except with Marshmallow inside.

We made something similar with white glue, water, a balloon and tissue. we cut up cheap Easter cards for the scenes, It could take several of the same card to get the scene 'just right'. Such warm memories. Thanks!

Last week I was hunting for them - I wanted ONE for my granddaughter. I asked my friend and she found a website that sells them, in three sizes. I think the medium size was $39 for a dozen and then about $15 shipping and handling! All I wanted was ONE egg!!!

Thank you, Lee. I think I'll still have time to make one or two. I actually have some very old ones... almost ancient, according to my daughter. <G> But they've yellowed over the decades. Happy Easter to all! We're supposed to get some much-needed rain on Easter, and we're not complaining this time, because we need it so badly. Say a prayer for us!

I used to love those eggs. I remember making them for my children and then my grandchildren. Wow - memories. Thanks for bringing them back.

made those in junior high one year gave it to my mom and after easter it was thrown away cause she was afraid it was bringing ants. of course she was right but they were fun to do and decorate and learning to cut ears on marshmollows for rabbits and stuff.
