Nutella for Easter

Yesterday, we made these Nutella Cream Eggs for Easter. The process is similar to the Peanut Butter Hearts we made last month, but these were much more frustrating to dip because they didn't set up as firmly as the peanut butter mixture. That said, they still turned out fairly well - or at least the ones we're showing here did. ;) Plus they have nutella (or Hyvee hazelnut spread as the case may be), so we're not complaining. Since the dipping process proved difficult, Katie eventually opted to drizzle the melted almond bark over the remaining candies, which for the most part produced better-looking results. 

Yes, that's all off-brand stuff. We're cheap that way.

Ready for dipping (a.k.a. the worst part of candy-making)

Finished product - flowers, eggs, and a sheep!

Happy Easter! We'll see you at the end of the month with a reading challenge update.
