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?

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.)

Ann and Coconut, those are wonderful looking creations. They make Easter Holiday feel like a Holiday.
