Ever since Michelle reminded us that tomorrow is April Fool's when she posted her friend's "Deviled Eggs" made of pure white chocolate, the eight-year-olds inside of us have been trying to come up with our own Cuttlefish Ink office food pranks.  Enjoy a few adult (and kid)-friendly ones we've come up with around the Web after the jump.  What are your favorite April Fool's pranks?
Wormy Apple  Using a small apple corer, cut a hole in the side of an apple and insert a gummy worm. This is a fun prank for kids who take their lunch to school - or bosses who send you out on errands. (Via Suite 101)

Nightmare Breakfast Put half a bowl of cereal and milk in the freezer the night before. In the morning, volunteer to prepare the breakfast for everybody and put more cereal and milk in the frozen bowl. Watch adults and children trying to eat it. (Via TheFoolsDay.com)

Kosher April Fool's  It's a rare that April Fool's coincides with Passover - Fool someone into thinking they're cheating on Passover with UDI'S Gluten-Free Breads.  Terri Guss reports it tastes like "Normal" bread. (Via About.com).


UPDATE: We have been alerted that UDI's is actually still chametz.  However, if you need to tempt someone, wouldn't it be easier with dessert anyway?  Try this Haroset Cake with Zabaglione Sauce  instead (via EatingWell.com).

Glass of Vinegar Bring your thirsty friend or family member a tall glass of vinegar with ice (hey it worked forhttp://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/2009/04/01/culinary-april-fools-pranks-japes-and-larks/)


Eggs for Dessert Pour a half peach on some yogurt and serve it with eggs- or worse, serve meat loaf cupcakes with with cheesy mashed potato frosting - which we found a photo of on FlickR, above. Via iVillage
