Egg prices are still pretty high as the Easter holiday<\/a> approaches.<\/p>\n

There was a 10.4% uptick in egg prices in March and eggs are up 58.8% year-over-year, according to the Consumer Price Index.<\/p>\n

While egg-coloring is a spring tradition for millions across the country, some inventive alternative ideas to coloring Easter eggs have been circulating lately.<\/p>\n

Here are some fun food options<\/a> to swap out for eggs.<\/p>\n

Coloring potatoes instead of eggs has become a growing trend<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

Regular potatoes can be dyed the same way as hard-boiled eggs<\/a>, but they should be washed off before dipping in, according to Delish.<\/p>\n

The potatoes can still be eaten even after they’re colored if natural food dyes are used, experts say.<\/p>\n

Marshmallows provide a simple blank canvas for coloring and designing.<\/p>\n

The fluffy treats reportedly can be dipped into dye or painted on with a small paintbrush.<\/p>\n

They’re also easy to maneuver, as they can be held in place with toothpicks or skewers.<\/p>\n

Marshmallow maker Jet-Puffed released its own “Dip & Decorate” kit for Easter this year.<\/p>\n

It includes a bag of jumbo marshmallows, edible colorings, pens, drizzles and an egg crate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(The kit is sold for $1.99 on Walmart’s website but was sold out as of Friday.)<\/p>\n

Although a potentially stinky option, onions are a potential alternative to eggs, according to Delish.<\/p>\n

Onions can be dyed just as potatoes can be, as long as the harder, outer layers are removed first.<\/p>\n

Shallots are another, smaller option that are similar in size to eggs.<\/p>\n

One Easter egg alternative recipe<\/a> has gone viral on social media.<\/p>\n

Crowded Kitchen, a mother-daughter cooking duo with 2 million followers on Instagram, posted a video of its Peanut Butter Easter Eggs, which received more than one million likes.<\/p>\n

The recipe, posted on Crowded Kitchen’s website, yields a batch of beautiful, Robin’s egg-blue sweet treats.<\/a><\/p>\n

The simple mixture includes peanut butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract and salt, which is then semi-frozen.<\/p>\n

The colorful coating is made with melted white chocolate and coconut oil, with Spirulina and matcha added as desired.<\/p>\n

The eggs are dipped into the white chocolate coating and speckled with a mixture of cocoa powder and water with the flick of a pastry brush, according to the recipe.<\/p>\n
