Hello all,

Where can I find some Easter eggs? I have looked everywhere. I desperately want to have an Easter egg hunt with my kindergarten students. Please help.

EMart?

Making Easter eggs is not a Korean tradition*. You do have options, though. If you can find some white-shelled chicken eggs (both E-Mart and Home Plus in my area carry them just before Easter every year), then you can follow the instructions here for home-made dyes. Remember to get a white wax crayon or white wax candle if you want to get fancy and have some designs on the eggs.

Duck eggs are white-shelled; however, I've never used them for making Easter eggs. If you decide to use them, boil a few at home first to ensure that's a viable option. If is, you can have some fun with quail eggs too since they're very tiny. You'll have some large eggs and some really small eggs.

*The Korean Christian tradition for Easter is to give someone a hard-boiled (obviously not dyed) egg. That's not surprising since the chicken eggs here are brown-shelled.

Sorry I should have been more specific. I am looking for chocolate Easter eggs.

They don't do chocolate easter eggs here. You're best bet is to get your family to post you some, I've already received some and got more on the way. I guess it's a bit too late for them to arrive for easter now, though.

Costco has whoppers Easter eggs in big bags for about 8000. In case you're not familiar with WHoppers, they're malt balls coated with chocolate and in this case, white, pink, blue or yellow colored candy coating. I believe they're called "Robin Eggs."

I feel the same way about Cadbury eggs. Your best bet is to have Easter chocolate mailed to you.

Robin's eggs won't work for an Easter egg hunt. It would be unsanitary. I need something wrapped.

What are chocolate Easter eggs? Like those Reese's half-egg things?

[Taiwantroll]

Anything chocolate and looks like an egg. Usually they are small and solid chocolate, sometimes they are large and hollow, sometimes they have sweet cream inside.

I wish I could find some red tulip easter eggs, but as other posters have said, Korea just doesn't do easter eggs.

[Cedar]

uhhh, make them? is there any other kind worth looking for? you could even decorate them together for extra fun.
