Found in my lots o recipes folder but this was under it: Top Secret Recipes version of Cadbury's Creme Egg Ingredients:
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 12-ounce bags milk chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening |
Directions:
1. Combine the corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl.
2. Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth.
3. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing by hand after each addition.
4. Mix well until creamy.
5. Remove about 1/3 of the mixture and place it into a small bowl.
6. Add the yellow and red food coloring and stir well to combine.
7. Cover both mixtures and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
8. When mixtures are firm, roll a small, marble-size ball from the orange filling, and wrap around it a portion of the white filling that is roughly twice the size.
9. Form this filling into the shape of an egg and place it onto a cookie sheet that has been brushed with a light coating of shortening.
10. Repeat for the remaining filling ingredients, then refrigerate these centers for 3-4 hours or until firm.
11. Combine the milk chocolate chips with the shortening in a glass or ceramic bowl.
12. Microwave chocolate on high speed for 1 minute, then stir and microwave again for one more minute, and stir.
13. Use a fork to dip each center into the chocolate, tap the fork on the side of the bowl, then place each candy onto wax paper.
14. Chill.
15. After 1-2 hours of chilling, dip each candy once more and chill for several hours, or until completely firm.
16. Makes 2 dozen candy eggs.
