Watch: Tara Rittler From Tulsa Kids Magazine Shares April Fools Day Recipes

April Fools' Day is an annual excuse for pranksters to pull practical jokes on people for fun.

Some tricks are simple as making a recipe, but the food tastes the opposite of what it looks like, playing a prank on your taste buds. One classic April Fools' joke looks like breakfast, but it's dessert. It looks like a sunny-side-up egg on a piece of toast, but when you take a bite, that's not what you get.

Tara Rittler with Tulsa Kids Magazine says a fun idea for April Fools is making a backward meal where the food items are disguised as other food. For this breakfast treat, she buttered and toasted a slice of Angel Food Cake. Next, she spread vanilla yogurt on the cake for the egg white and half of a canned apricot for the yolk. You can add a fun touch by putting Jell-O in a cup to look like juice! Rittler says an idea for a savory edible trick is a meatloaf cupcake: meatloaf in muffin tins, mashed potatoes as frosting, and chopped chives as sprinkles.

For another healthy option, you can make frozen peaches dipped in yogurt with sprinkles disguised as a donut. She played a prank on her 7-year-old son by giving him a bowl of cereal that she froze overnight.

“So, he really gets into it and it's just kind of fun because then you get to give your kids a treat, and they always love that. I think it's just a way to show them you're thinking about them and celebrating a holiday,” Rittler said.

These pranks are edible and harmless.

Rittler says most kids will get a kick out of it unless they're craving a real donut, not a peach.
