Creme Egg (similar to Cadbury’s)
Cadbury Creme Eggs are a favourite Easter treat. Now you can make them at home all year round. No more waiting for the Easter Bunny to bring them. Hop to and make some today.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar
4 drops yellow food coloring
2 drops red food coloring
12 oz bag milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1) Combine corn syrup, butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Beat well with an electric beater 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. Place 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 to 4 hours, or until firm.
6) Combine the milk chocolate chips with the shortening in a glass or ceramic bowl. Melt chocolate following your preferred method.
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 for 1 to 2 hours.
8) Dip each egg once more, and chill for several hours, or until completely firm.
