Dyeing Marshmallows Is the New Easter Egg Trend

The list of cheaper things to dye than Easter eggs is about 50 pages long.  Here’s the latest option . . .

Jet-Puffed wants you to dye MARSHMALLOWS instead of eggs this year.  They sold kits on Walmart’s website this weekend for $2 each, and they immediately sold out.  (Here’s a photo.)

Each “Dip and Decorate” kit came with six dyes . . . a set of decorating pens . . . and a pack of “jumbo” marshmallows that are roughly the same size as eggs.

You also got a pink egg carton to dry them in, with a label on it that said “FARM FRESH Marshmallows.”

If you didn’t get a set, you can just buy food coloring and D.I.Y. it.  A bag of marshmallows is definitely cheaper than a dozen eggs, and you get twice as many.

Jet-Puffed is probably hoping this takes off and “Easter marshmallows” become a thing.  Is it at least more fun than Easter potatoes?
