Chocolate Easter Eggs
 

Here is a fun recipe for Chocolate Easter Eggs that we make every year.
They are like the original Cadbury eggs. The kids LOVE these!

Chocolate Easter Eggs

When opened, these eggs will have a white cream filling with a yellow
center.

Makes about 24

1 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons vanilla
1 can sweetened condensed milk
10 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon yellow food coloring
1 pound semi-sweet chocolate

Beat together butter, salt and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add milk,
beat in powdered sugar. Blend until the mixture is stiff. Dust with a
little
extra powdered sugar and knead with hands until smooth.

Set aside a little more than 2/3 of the mixture. Knead yellow food
coloring into the remaining mixture until uniform in color. Divide into 24
equal parts and shape into round balls. Divide the white mixture into 24
equal parts and mold the white mixture around the yellow balls to form an
egg shape. Dry at room temperature on paper towels for 24 hours. Melt
chocolate in the top of a double boiler until smooth. Dip eggs in
chocolate and allow to harden on a cooling rack with waxed paper placed
underneath. Keep refrigerated.
