I make this great Easter bread. It has a sweet crust and inside has chopped hard boiled eggs, ricotta cheese, sugar and pepperoni. Sounds awful, but it probably one of the better breads that I have ever had!! YUM!
We also make Jello jiggler Eggs. My daughter has loved them since she was 3(she is now 16 and still asks for them!)
