These Easter Eggs are so good and very easy to make.

They are a big hit with Matt, Dana and Moe and I have a few neighbours that also look forward to them each year.

Chocolate Easter Eggs

Source: Monique

The recipe can be made in advance and refrigerated.

1.5 lbs of icing sugar

1/4 lb butter melted

1/2 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk

2 Tbsps. corn syrup

1 Tbsp. vanilla

1/2 lb of unsweetened or semi sweet chocolate melted

The original recipe called for adding paraffin. Monique didn't use the paraffin so neither did I.

Mix first five ingredients with Kitchenaide or other mixer. Shape like an egg and place in fridge till hard.

Melt chocolate. Dip each egg into melted chocolate, and place on tray lined with parchment or wax paper.

Colour some of the filling with yellow food colour if you would like a "yolk" centre. Store in tins.. between sheets of waxed paper when cold..

Note: Double the recipe to use up the full can of Condensed Milk. A double batch makes approximately 32 two ounce eggs.

You know, I'd seen the pic of these on my reader and thought they looked awesome, but figured they'd be too much work. This looks like a really simple and foolproof recipe. Will have to try it soon.

Aren't these pretty. I'd love to make them for fun some day. Do you ever put nuts or coconut in them?

RECIPE: Need filling for chocolate dessert cup

I don't know how big the cups are but white chocolate mousse topped with a fresh raspberry would be a killer. This is really good as long as you use a good brand of white chocolate: WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE 9 oz imported white chocolate, chopped 3large egg yolks 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar 1 1/4 cups chilled heavy cream Melt the white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat. In a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the yolks & sugar until well combined. Remove the bowl from the saucepan & beat in 1/4 cup of the cream. Slowly stir in the melted chocolate until well combined. Whip the remaining 1 cup of cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold together the whipped cream & white chocolate mixture. Spoon into wine goblets & refrigerate until ready to serve.~~A Matter of Taste

Someone posted this last year. I made it and it's very good. It's a nice firm filling. GRANNY'S CHOCOLATE MERINGUE PIE Make and/or bake crust until golden, 450Â° about 9 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Filling: 3 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped 1 cup sugar Â¼ cup cornstarch Pinch salt 3 cups milk 3 eggs yolks 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 2 Tbls. butter In a saucepan, combine the chocolate, 1 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt. Mix well. Stir in the milk. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Beat the egg yolks. Add 1/2 cup of the hot mixture to the egg yolks and mix well. Add the mixture back to the saucepan and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and butter. Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell and cool completely. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until chilled. Topping 3 egg whites Â¼ cup sugar Beat the egg whites, on medium speed, until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue evenly over the pie. Place in a preheated 350Â° oven, on the top rack and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. I don't know who granny is, but she makes a good pie!

I found the bottom layer! I bought some Lorna Doones and slathered on the choco-cheese. Wow! There is no sour taste--just creamy chocolate and the still-too-sweet cookie. Too sweet and chocolate? I can deal with that easily. However, I don't think I will allow myself to buy these ingredients again because I am certain they are terrible for my cholesterol and blood sugar. The only thing worse in this picture is my will power.

Thanks, Nancy, and a "Merry Easter" to you and Kim! Tami, 5 years? I was told 3 years, but I couldn't get the stuff to even grow one year. The first time I planted it, it was by the butternut tree. I didn't know then that butternut trees give off the same juglone that black walnuts do, and of course it didn't grow. I planted some more here in town out by the pool, but it never came up at all. I tried at the farm again, in the far back of the pasture by the pond, but nothing, maybe the cows ate it, but I wouldn't think so. So, three times and nothing, but you know I have to try again. I also need to get some of that lovage that Nancy gave me, I liked it a lot and now I have a place to plant it where it an just settle in and get comfortable, out at the farm. Annie

They are very good and so easy. I made them last year and we really enjoyed them. Christy was off last week and by the time I would have made candy, my shoulders were all used up, so none this year. I did make some of mine with coconut. I just kneaded the coconut into them. Worked great. Even made a few for me with what you'd consider double coconut and still worked fine. Oh, and I did make one big one. When I was a kid we always got one big one that we'd slice. That was fun to recreate that memory.

Some of last years batch.

I'm intrigued. What is the filling like? Soft and fluffy, or quite dense and fudge-like? Is it cloyingly sweet?

coconut, we also got those big chocolate eggs that were sliced and eaten. Always "fruit and nut" but there was no fruit that I recognized. (grin) I hated 'em, but I'd eat Ann T's!

Coconut, I like the idea of coconut. Maybe next year.

Donna, they are pretty sweet. Like a Laura Secord Cream Filled Easter Egg.

I dipped the eggs in Bernard Callebaut Milk Chocolate. Using a quality chocolate really makes a difference.

Ann, I'll be making these for sure next year, thanks!

Coconut, maybe its a Jersey thing! We always had a big coconut egg that we sliced up too. My Mom always got it from Bischoff's in Teaneck, homemade ice cream and candy! The egg for her and me and the black jelly beans for my Dad. (And other goodies too of course.) Thanks for the memory :)

(And the nice thing is that I just looked it up and Bischoff's is still there and apparently still quaint and with homemade goodies.)
