Sun Apr 20 03:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Marshmallow Easter Eggs Replace Soaring Egg Prices
**New York, NY** – With record-high egg prices reaching $6.23 a dozen, consumers are seeking budget-friendly Easter alternatives. Jet-Puffed, a Kraft Heinz brand, has answered the call with a new “Dip and Decorate Dozen” marshmallow kit.
The $1.99 kit, available exclusively on Walmart’s website, includes a bag of extra-large marshmallows, six food colorings, dipping tongs, and decorating pens. The company positions the kit as a “festive, mess-free twist on egg decorating,” capitalizing on the current high cost of traditional Easter eggs.
Soaring egg prices are a result of the avian flu outbreak earlier this year, which decimated egg-laying flocks. While wholesale egg prices are starting to decline, the decrease hasn’t yet trickled down to grocery store shelves. The USDA reports that reduced consumer demand has also contributed to the wholesale price drop.
Jet-Puffed’s marshmallow kit provides a fun and affordable option for families looking to maintain Easter traditions without breaking the bank. The company expects daily restocks to meet demand.
