Cadbury Creme Eggs

Recipe Introduction


This is one of Tim's favorites. He always wants Cadbury Eggs for easter.

Here's a little Easter present for you. It's a clone
version of the first soft fondant-filled egg candy to hit
the market, many Easters ago. Now, because of the
success of these chocolates with the orange
yolk-colored center, other candy companies have come
out with their own milk chocolate eggs. Some are filled
with Snickers or Milky Way centers, while others
contain peanut butter, coconut, caramel or the same
type of fondant center as the original...right down to
the colors. These eggs are sold only once a year, for
the Easter holiday. And, in that same spirit, this recipe
will only be up for a week; so get it while you can or
you'll have to wait until next year. Happy Easter,
everyone!



List of 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

Recipe



1. Combine the corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a
large bowl. Beat well with an electric mixer 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 into a
small bowl. Add the yellow and red food coloring and
stir well to combine.
4. Cover both mixtures and refrigerate for at least 2
hours, or until firm.
5. 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. 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. Repeat for the remaining filling
ingredients, then refrigerate these centers for 3-4
hours or until firm.
6. Combine the milk chocolate chips with the
shortening in a glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave
chocolate on high speed for 1 minute, then stir and
microwave again for 1 more minute, and stir.
7. 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.
8. After 1-2 hours of chilling, dip each candy once more
and chill for several hours, or until completely firm.

Makes 2 dozen candy eggs.
