Can I Eat My Decorated Easter Eggs?

Yes! If you are using Food Grade Markers (food coloring markers) and handling your eggs with food safety rules (like keeping them at a safe temperature and returning them to the fridge)… then you can eat your eggs. You know how your eggs have been handled so you decide. I know sometimes our eggs are left out too long so we don’t eat those ones… no Easter tummy aches for us.

Some egg decorating methods do not use food-safe dyes or supplies, so make sure not to eat those eggs and inform children and keep an eye on them.

What are Food Color Markers

So I am in love with edible markers. Essentially they are food coloring in marker form and they make crafting with food so fun while keeping the food edible (which is the point of food right…lol).

If you don’t have food coloring markers and don’t have time to buy any before Eater you can try this Easter Egg Tie Dyeing Method that uses regular markers and makes eggs that are just as colorful but non-edible.

Supplies:

Food Coloring Markers (I always trust Wilton products that has a primary color set, and here is another Food Coloring Marker Set that has great reviews and more colors)
Coffee Filter
White Vinegar in a Bowl
White Egg (hard boiled or the contents blown out)

Directions:

Step 1: Decorate the Coffee Filter

Color the coffee filter with FOOD COLORING MARKERS (only). We drew patterns and designs. Once the vinegar touches the coffee filter the colors all run together making the tie-dye effect.
