    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup light corn syrup
    1/4 cup softened butter
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    3 cups powdered sugar
    4 drops yellow food coloring
    2 drops red food coloring
    12 ounces milk chocolate chips
    2 tablespoons shortening

    Recipe



    Combine corn syrup, butter, vanilla and salt. Beat well till smooth. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing by hand after each addition. Mix well till creamy. Remove about 1/3 of the mixture and place it into a small bowl. Add the yellow and red food colorings and stir well. Cover both mixtures and refrigerate for at least 2 hours till firm. When mixtures are firm, roll a small, marble-sized ball from the orange filling, and wrap around it a portion of the white filling that is roughly twice the size. Form this filling into the shape of an egg and place it on a cookie sheet that has been brushed with a light coating of shortening. Repeat for the remaining filling ingredients, then refrigerate these centers for 3-4 hours till firm. Melt milk chocolate chips and shortening together, stirring till smooth. Let mixture cool slightly. Use a fork to dip each center into the chocolate, tap the fork on the side of the bowl, then place each candy onto waxed paper. Chill. After 1-2 hours of chilling, dip each candy once more and chill for several hours till completely firm.
