Most importantly, have fun!!! Happy Easter from all of us at My Country 95.5!

Boiling the Eggs:

Place the whole eggs in a saucepan, and fill it enough to completely cover the eggs. Feel free to add 1 tsp salt, which will make the eggs easier to peel. Bring the water to a rapid boil, then cover the saucepan and remove the eggs from heat. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then drain the eggs and let cool {you can speed this up by placing the eggs under cold running water, or place them in the refrigerator}.

Prepping the Colors:

Each cup should be filled with 2 Tablespoons of distilled white vinegar, and 1 Cup of hot boiled water. Allow each egg to soak for 10 minutes, turning each egg over half way through the time. {Orange and Yellow need to soak for 15 minutes.}

Then add McCormick Food Colorings, both Assorted and Neon, in the following dosage combinations in order to bring out brilliant egg colors:

Vibrant Magenta - 10 mins soaking Neon Pink {10 drops} Neon Purple {4 drops}

Vibrant Red - 10 mins soaking Neon Pink {10 drops} Neon Purple {1 drop} Red {2 drops}

Vibrant Green - 10 mins soaking Neon Green {20 drops} Neon Blue {2 drops} Green {1 drop}

Vibrant Blue - 10 mins soaking Neon Blue {6 drops} Blue {1 drop}

Vibrant Purple - 10 mins soaking Neon Blue {7 drops} Neon Pink {5 drops}

Vibrant Orange - 15 mins soaking Yellow {20 drops} Red {5 drops}

Vibrant Yellow - 15 mins soaking Yellow {15 drops} Neon Green {2 drops}

After the soak time is complete, carefully spoon out each egg and lay it in a muffin tin to dry. If you choose to dye more eggs, you will want to either add more dye, remix new dyes, or let the egg sit for a longer period of time.

Feel free to wear gloves and an apron to prevent color staining on your hands and clothing.
