Additions and Substitutions

No green Easter grass for the serving tray? You can tint coconut green with a few drops of green food coloring. Measure out a cup of shredded coconut, dump it in a bowl, add 2 drops to start with and mix well. Add one drop more at a time until you like the shade of green. Repeat with another cup of coconut until there is enough “grass” to cover your serving tray.

Want to add whiskers, eyes, and a nose to your bunnies? Black licorice strings can be cut and inserted for whiskers. Pink jelly beans can be added for eyes, and black jelly beans can be added for a nose.

Instead of real eggs on the serving platter, you can sprinkle Easter candy on the platter.
