Re: Makin' Candy Easter Eggs

Looks like I'll be making some more eggs!

Re: Makin' Candy Easter Eggs

That's great! Where do you get those cellophane bags? I may have to try this idea.

I had those left over from my daughter's wedding (candy bar), but I purchased them at Hobby Lobby. It did make the presentation more attractive and easier to handle.

Before I just wrapped them in clear wrap.

We have made good money making these for church.

My parent's church makes them larger than this and take orders to personalize them and sell them for $5.

I sell these for $1
I *thought* I recognized that PB jar! LOL My youngest daughter lives on PB&J sandwiches... we go through a LOT of PB. Aldi's is great!

Form in the shape of a egg - place on cookie sheet and put in freezer for a short time or fridge for one hour.

Melt 4 - 5 oz. Hershey bar's with 1/2 stick of paraffin in a double broiler. Use a long two-prong fork and roll in chocolate, place on waxed paper to dry. Decorate as creatively as you desire. Yield 24

Buttercream eggs
2 stick butter - room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Almost two pounds of powdered sugar - make firm, but not crumbly.

If you get either too stiff just add a little more butter to soften up so it's not crumbly.

Place in fridge to firm up. Melt one bag of white chocolate chips and 1/2 stick of paraffin. Dip. Yield 12
