Todays recipe come from that cookbook. I made these years ago when the kids were little and it was so much fun to fill a basket with homemade goodies.
Cadbury's Creme Egg
Serving Size: 12
Preparation Time:
Categories:
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar
4 drops yellow food coloring
2 drops red food coloring
1 bag milk chocolate chips (12 ounces)
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1) Combine the corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in
a large bowl.
Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth.
2) Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing by
hand after each
addition. Mix well until creamy.
3) Remove about 1/3 of the mixture, and place it in a
small bowl. Add
the food colorings, and stir well.
4) Cover both mixtures, and refrigerate for at least 2
hours, or
until firm.
5) When mixtures are firm, roll a small, marble-sized
ball from the
orange filling, and wrap a portion of the white filling
(approx.
twice the size) around it. Form this filling into the
shape of an
egg, and place it on a cookie sheet that has been
brushed with a
light coating of vegetable shortening. Repeat process
with the
remaining filling ingredients, then refrigerate these
"eggs" for 3-4
hours, or until firm.
6) Combine the milk chocolate chips with the shortening
in a glass or
ceramic bowl. Microwave chocolate on HIGH for 1 minute,
then stir,
and microwave again for 1 minute more; stir.
7) Use a fork to dip each center into the chocolate;
tap the fork
lightly on the side of the bowl, then place each candy
onto waxed
paper. Chill.
8) after 1-2 hours of chilling, dip each candy once more,
and chill
for several hours, or until completely firm.
Enjoy
