Easter Round-Up Part One

 
It's All About The Eggs

Chunky Guacamole Deviled Eggs

Cook's Notes: Deviled eggs meet guacamole for a perfect Easter treat or your next Margarita and Chip gathering.
The recipe makes 12 servings and can easily be increased to serve more. Inspiration comes from Food Network Magazine April 2020.
Cooking Tip: Peel hard-boiled eggs right after they have been submerged in cold water for 2 minutes. Chill peeled eggs for 30 minutes which helps eggs hold shape better for slicing and filling.
Ingredients:

• 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chilled
• 1 avocado peeled, remove inside, mash
• 2 tablespoons of red onion, minced
• 2 tablespoon Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
• Lime squeeze
• 3 tablespoons diced cherry tomatoes, patted dry on a paper towel
• Dash of sea salt and red pepper flakes
• Optional: cilantro

Directions:

• Slice each egg in half, and remove yolks.
• In a small bowl add yolks, mashed avocado, onion, spices, mayonnaise, and lime squeeze.
• Mix ingredients all together and fold in diced tomatoes.
• Fill each white with the mixture. Refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Cook's Notes: I found the very best tasting is straight right out of the oven when candies are still warm and just melt in your mouth with their glorious chocolaty taste. 
Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup butter
• 1- 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup speckled M & M Chocolate Eggs 

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a glass 8 x 8 pan with cooking spray.
• Place butter and brown sugar in a medium-sized saucepan and heat.
• Whisk constantly until sugar and butter are mixed and smooth. Cool for 5 minutes.
• Pour mixture into the mixing bowl, adding in eggs one at a time. Stir until incorporated and add in vanilla.
• Add in flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, and beat just until combined. The batter will be thick. Spread out evenly in a pan.
• Distribute candies in the batter and press down into the batter.
• Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean from the center. Do not overbake or will become too dry.
