Dessert: Cadbury Eggs

Servings: 16

Prep Time: 90 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1/4 cup butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 cups powdered sugar, sifted

4 drops yellow food coloring

2 drops red food coloring

1 (12 ounce) bag milk chocolate chips

2 teaspoons vegetable shortening

Directions

Combine the corn syrup, butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl.

Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth.

Add powdered sugar, a little bit at at time and mix by hand after each addition.

Mix until creamy.

Remove about 1/3 of the sugar mixture and place in a small bowl.

Add the food coloring and mix well.

Cover both mixtures and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.

When mixtures are still firm roll a small, marble size from the orange filling.

Wrap a small amount of the white filling around the orange.

Form into the shape of eggs and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

Repeat until done and chill for at least 4 hours.

You want them "set".

Combine the chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler or ceramic bowl.

Melt down and mix well.

Take each egg filling, dip into the melted chocolate mixture and return to baking sheet.

Repeat and chill again for 2 hours.

Repeat the dipping process, chill again and you're good to go!
