According to a report by the news portal"NewsX", countless influencers on social media are currently spreading their way to save Easter in the United States. Chicken eggs have become increasingly expensive in recent years, making traditional egg hunting on the holidays a costly endeavor.

The solution is simple! Some Americans have looked around their homes or gardens and found egg-like alternatives that are indistinguishable from the animal model at first glance. The current trend is towards the "Easter potato". The organization "This is CNY" in the state of New York has launched a campaign in which employees try to create "the world's most beautiful Easter boiled potato" in a small challenge.

On the social media platform X , they show the process and later the results of their experiment and if you didn't know, you might think that there are actually real, small Easter eggs.

Another idea comes from the two food bloggers of the Instagram channel "crowded_kitchen" Lexi Harrison and Beth Sinclair.

Together as mother and daughter, they have been inspiring their two million fans around the world with new and creative recipes for almost ten years.

For example, they also posted their version to save the "eggless" Easter, and the best thing about it is that the eggs they make with just a few ingredients are even edible and very easy to make!

For the 'filling', you simply need some peanut butter, flour, sugar, a little maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt. You then mix these ingredients together to form an even mixture and use a spoon to shape the 'dough' into an egg shape. The "shell" consists of melted white chocolate, in which the peanut eggs still need to be dipped. And voilà: you have irresistible peanut butter Easter eggs.

If you want, you can also pimp the treats with food coloring or other toppings - there are no limits to your creativity.
