Fakin' & Eggs

On April Fools' Day, trick your family with a tiny breakfast that's really a cleverly disguised dessert.   
Ingredients
  • FOR THE EGGS:
  • 3 tablespoons white chocolate chips
  • 12 yellow M&MS
  • FOR THE FAKIN':
  • 1 square caramel
  • 1 Tootsie Roll Midgee
 
Instructions
  1. For the eggs: Melt the white chocolate chips according to the package directions. Transfer the melted chocolate to a ziplock bag and snip off a corner.
  2. Squeeze nickel-size portions of the chocolate onto a sheet of waxed paper, then gently press a yellow M&M, letter side down, into the center of each. Let the candies cool. Makes 12 eggs.
     
    For the fakin': Remove the wrapping from a square caramel and a Tootsie Roll Midgee. Microwave the candies for 4 seconds to make them soft. Use your thumb and forefinger to slightly flatten each candy piece, then press them together.


    Halve the candy, then stack and press the pieces into alternating layers
Slice a 1/4-inch-wide piece from the stack. Pinch and stretch the piece lengthwise into a flat bacon strip, then cut it in half. Add ripples to each half by gently bending the edges. Makes 3 strips (6 pieces).

Both Disney theme parks are riddled with creepy urban legends, ghosts and ghouls that aren't just animatronics in the Haunted House ride. 1. Many cast members claim that after dark the dolls in "It's A Small World" come to life, switching places or disappearing altogether.             2.
