I picked these egg molds up in Tokyo, at
Tokyu Hands, also known as the best store in the world. They came in handy for making Easter-themed gobbledygook.

Basically, take some boiled chicken eggs, peel them while they're warm and then plop them in these
kawaii-shaped molds called
yudetama gokko, which is Japanese for "
make your food cute so people don't think it tastes gross" (though the Interwebs tells me the alternate meaning is "boiled egg make-believe").
Drop them in ice water for 10 minutes or refrigerate them until they're cool. Then you can unmold them and destroy their cuteness, as you wish.

No chocolate eggs for me, thanks... only the real deal with hot sauce this holiday. Happy delicious Easter, folks!
