Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt is not a single dish but a festive tradition where decorated hard-boiled or chocolate eggs are hidden for children to find. The 'ingredients' typically include eggs (hard-boiled or chocolate), food-safe dyes, stickers, and sometimes candy fillings. This tradition is popular in Western countries, particularly in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.
