Deviled Egg Chicks

These deviled eggs are shaped like baby chicks. Aren't they cute?


12 eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp vinegar
salt and pepper
baby carrots
raisins

Place eggs in a large pot of cold water and bring to boil. Once the water has reached boiling point, remove from heat and cover the pot. Let sit for 30 minutes. Place eggs in ice water for 10 minutes. Remove shells. Cut eggs in half and scoop cooked yolks into a bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth. Place yolk mixture into the cooked egg whites. If you want you can place the mixture in a ziploc bag and cut a hole in the corner. Then squeeze it onto the egg whites.
To decorate as chicks, use slices of baby carrots as feet. Cut triangular pieces of carrots for beaks. Cut tiny pieces of raisins for eyes.

I made these for an easter egg hunt potluck yesterday and they were very popular! I didn't have any left over afterwards so that's a good sign. I'm not that great at making them so they were kind of lumpy but if I had melon-baller or something to make them more rounded that would help. Even so they turned out not too bad! It was a lot of fun making them.
Happy Easter everyone!!
