Easter is right around the corner! And if you're in the midst of planning all your holiday activities, you might be second guessing one quintessential tradition: decorating Easter eggs. With the prices for eggs sky high right now, is it worth (ahem) shelling out all that money?
Well, the good news is that you don't have to scrap your plans entirely this year, because there are a lot of Easter egg alternatives you can consider. The newest was just released by the marshmallow brand Jet-Puffed this week, and it's so popular that it has already sold out a few times!
Jet-Puffed Dip & Decorate Marshmallows come as a kit so you and the kids can turn sweet marshmallows into Easter-ready treats. Included you'll find one bag of jumbo marshmallows, six vibrant colorings, three edible pens, and two drizzles to decorate, plus tongs and an egg crate to store them. All of that is just $1.99, exclusively at Walmart.
Now, if you're wondering, "Why am I reading this if they're already sold out?" Well, rumor has it (okay, so it's really just mentioned on Instagram) that each day at 12 p.m. EST, there will be a new drop each day until supplies last. So you can grab this fun, affordable find. You just have to be diligent about it!
And if you're also questioning if marshmallows are really the route you want to go, consider a few things. First, Jet-Puffed Jumbo Marshmallows are four times the size of regular marshmallows so they're actually about the same size as jumbo eggs. You don't have to boil them or worry that they'll stink up the house in a few days. And, the marshmallows are designed to hold their shape and still soak in the vibrant colors.
A reminder that this whole kit is just $2. Even some of the best Easter candy out there isn't that cheap. And look how cute they turn out! So if you're willing to hang out and check back to see if they're in stock (while maybe browsing all the other affordable Easter finds at Walmart for efficiency's sake), it might just be exactly what the Easter Bunny ordered this year.
