Hard boil your eggs, but don't peel 'em!
Add a cup of boiling water and a few drops of food coloring* to a bowl. Use one bowl for each color.
Place your eggs in the water, covering completely if you want the whole egg to be covered. You can also dip half in one color and the other half in another color!
Eggs will start to change color within 1-2 minutes. Keep your egg in the colored water until they've reached the desired color.
Brush 'em with a little vegetable oil to make 'em shiny, and you're all done! Remember to treat your dyed Easter eggs the way you would treat any hard-boiled egg.
