Muffin Tin Method
- Soak hard-boiled eggs in vinegar for 5-10 minutes for a more vibrant finished product. This step can be skipped, but the eggs will be pastel rather than vibrant colors. Dry eggs with a towel.
- Place a spoonful of Cool Whip into each muffin tin. Add food coloring and swirl with a toothpick. Avoid over-mixing especially if using many colors, or the end result may be brown.
- Insert hard-boiled eggs and cover with the colored Cool Whip. Let sit for at least 10 minutes for the most vibrant swirls. You can let the eggs sit even longer, but you may want to place the muffin tin with eggs into the refrigerator for food safety reasons.
- Remove eggs and plunge into a bowl of water. Wipe off any excess Cool Whip.

Notes
Some people have had trouble with food dye adhering to eggs.
It is important not to skip the vinegar bath. The acid in vinegar reacts with the calcium in the eggshell to ensure the dye adheres to the shell. Also, coloring may adhere better if your hard-boiled eggs are still warm (not hot).
