Looking to add some playful fun to your April Fools’ Day? Surprise your family with a delightfully fake “eggs and bacon” treat that’s both easy to make and irresistibly sweet.
Making Fake Eggs and Bacon
While the kids are outside soaking up the spring sunshine, you can whip up a sneaky “eggs and bacon” snack that is sure to be a hit!
Gather your Ingredients
White Chocolate Chips
Yellow M & M’s
Chewy Caramels
Tootsie Rolls
Fake the Eggs and Bacon
Prepare the “Eggs”
Melt a handful of white chocolate chips in the microwave.
Transfer the melted chocolate into a sandwich bag, snipping off a corner to create a piping bag.
On a sheet of wax paper, pipe out shapes to resemble egg whites.
Place a yellow M&M (letter side down) in the center of each blob to mimic egg yolks.
Craft the “Bacon”
Slightly soften Tootsie Rolls and caramels in the microwave for about ten seconds.
Press them onto wax paper then shape and stretch them into rectangular strips.
Use a knife to add lines, enhancing the bacon appearance.
Allow them to cool and harden.
Complete the Surprise
Once everything is set, arrange the faux egg and bacon on a plate.
Present the playful snack to your family and enjoy their reactions as they discover the sweet deception.
This sweet and tasty snack is the kind of lighthearted prank we like to play on April Fools Day. A joke is the most fun when EVERYBODY enjoys it!

[…] April Fools’ Eggs and Bacon: If eggs and bacon are your thing and you’ve got the itch to trick your kiddos at breakfast this week, then this one’s for you. It was a total hit when I sprung it on Maddy, Owen, and Cora last year, so it’s going to take a whole lot to top it this year. But I think I have an idea! (Read Friday to find out!) Hmmmm, are these fried eggs real or not? […]
