Cascarones

From ancient origins to backyard traditions, the confetti-filled eggs carry centuries of history in every crack.

Cascarones, the confetti-filled eggshells popular during Easter and Fiesta celebrations, are traditionally made from empty eggshells. Despite soaring egg prices, Texas shoppers looking to stock up on the holiday staple won’t have to worry about paying more – at least not this year.

The San Antonio River Authority suggests making your own eggs and filling them with leaves or birdseed.
