  • Tongs or a spoon
  • Water
  • Paper towels

Materials

  • 12 hardboiled eggs
  • Distilled white vinegar
  • 2 containers of Cool Whip
  • Assorted food coloring

Instructions

  • Hard boil the eggs using your method of choice and let them cool completely.
  • Put the hard boiled eggs in a large bowl and pour white vinegar over them until the eggs are covered.
  • Let them sit in the vinegar for between 5 and 10 minutes while you prep the Cool Whip.
  • Scoop a full container of Cool Whip into a casserole dish, spreading it out so it evenly covers the bottom of the dish with about an inch thick layer of Cool Whip. Use a portion of or the entire second container if needed.
  • Dot the Cool Whip with drops of food coloring about an inch or so apart.
  • Swirl the colors by running the tines of a fork through the color drops, being careful not to over mix the colors so they don't turn muddy.
  • Put the eggs into the color swirled whipped topping.
  • Use a spoon or tongs to roll the eggs around and burrow them into the colored Cool Whip so they are covered.
  • Let eggs sit in the Cool Whip for at least 5 minutes but up to 15 minutes for brighter colors.
  • After the eggs have sat in the color mixture, scoop one egg out of the whipped topping with a pair of tongs.
  • Wipe the Cool Whip off with a paper towel or run it under water to clean it off.
  • Repeat until you have finished cleaning the Cool Whip off of all of the eggs.
