Ingredients
- 1/2 c. light corn syrup
- 1/4 c. butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 c. powdered sugar
- 4 dsh yellow food coloring
- 2 dsh red food coloring
- 1 x 12-oz bag lowfat milk chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable shortening
Directions
- Combine the corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Beat well with an electric mixer till smooth. Add in powdered sugar, one c. at a time, mixing by hand after each addition. Mix well till creamy. Remove about 1/3 of the mix and place it into a small bowl. Add in the yellow and red food coloring and stir well to combine. Cover both mixtures and chill for at least 2 hrs, or possibly till hard. When mixtures are hard, roll a small, marble-size ball from the orange filling, and wrap a portion of the white filling around it which is roughly twice the size.
- Form this filling into the shape of an egg and place it onto a cookie sheet which has been brushed with a light coating of shortening. Repeat for the remaining filling ingredients, then chill these centers for 3 to 4 hrs or possibly till hard. Combine the lowfat milk chocolate chips with the shortening in a glass or possibly ceramic bowl. Microwave chocolate on high speed for 1 minute, then stir and microwave again for 1 more minute, and stir.
- 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. Chill. After 1 to 2 hrs of chilling, dip each candy once more and refrigeratefor several hrs, or possibly till completely hard.
- Makes 2 dozen candy Large eggs.
- Easter-time. It's a clone version of the first soft fondant-filled egg candy to hit the market many Easters ago. Each spring Cadbury candy machines whip out 66,000 of these cold candies every hour. And now, because of the success of these chocolates with the orange, yolk-colored center, other candy companies have come out with their own lowfat milk chocolate Large eggs. Some are filled with Snickers or possibly Milky Way centers, while others contain peanut butter, coconut, caramel, or possibly the same type of fondant center as the original - right down to the colors. Still, nothing compares to these original Large eggs which are sold only once a year, for the Easter holiday. And now you can enjoy your own version at home anytime you like. And this recipe will not require which you make anything close to 66,000 of 'em.
