Snowman Eggnog

Special Supplies Needed:

*Globe Shaped Glasses or we used this glasses we found at Wal-mart they were unbreakable for the kids.

*Eggnog

*Mini Marshmallows, to help the whip topping from sinking or melting into the eggnog. We used a handful on top of the eggnog in each glass before adding the whipped topping. Repeat for each snowman glass, optional

*Grey Paper Straws, optional

*Candy Corns for nose, yellow part cut off or other orange candy shape as a nose

*Chocolate Chips, eyes

*Chocolate Chips or Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers for buttons

*Round Tip Decorating Tool

*Coconut for snow, optional

Preparing Snowman Eggnog Glasses

*Glass, use as many as needed

*Melted Chocolate Wafers (follow melting directions on package) or melted chocolate chips are used to make the buttons down the front of the glasses, we made 3 buttons. (We used a round tip decorating tool. We dipped the round end into the melted chocolate and then placed inside the glass making the dot where desired. Repeat for each chocolate button.

*Favorite Eggnog Recipe or Store Bought we used Meadow Gold Light Eggnog or you could use regular Meadow Gold Eggnog (our glasses were on the large size so you might need may need 2 (2 Quart) containers for 6 glasses, but if you add milk or sprite it would go further…

*NOTE: We like to add Almond or Milk to ours it’s a little rich for us. Also note that we added little Sprite or any lime soda will do, it will make the eggnog separate, so if you don’t want this to happen don’t add the lemon lime soda.

*We used Reddi Wip Almond Milk, but Cool Whip would probably hold up better. You need to add this just before serving. Add chocolate chips for the eyes and we used a Candy Corn for the nose to the piled up whipped topping, see pictures.

*Coconut for sprinkling for snow effect

Enjoy!

Hard Boiled Egg Sandwich

Hard Boiled Egg and Egg Sandwiches

Pressure Cooking Eggs:

12 Large Eggs, hard-boiled, I like to cook them in my Electric pressure cooker/Insta Pot, with 1 cup of water place in the bottom of the pot 1 layer of eggs you can fit 11 to 12 eggs, if you layer them on top of each other than some may crack. Also, use good quality eggs with thicker shells, I’ve had trouble with Wal-mart’s egg shells cracking and the shells are thin. Cook eggs 3 to 4 minutes, this will take about 15 to 20 minutes with the pressurizing and de-pressurizing, cook according to your electric pressure cooker instructions. After pressure cooker/Insta Pot depressurizing cooked eggs. Remove from cooker and place cooked eggs into a bowl of ice water to cool down and then peel.

Hard Boiled Egg Sandwiches:

Note: Use the following ingredients to make the number of egg sandwiches desired.

Per Egg Sandwich:

*Pre-cooked Bacon or Peppered Bacon or bacon of choice, cooked according to directions, each slice cut into 3 pieces
