Messy but lots of fun ! Thanks Dorothy ! I used to make these all the time years ago, and had misplaced my recipe. Glad to have found it through this site. This year, my 5 year old and I made only 16 eggs (same amount of ingredients , but bigger eggs) and are wrapping them up in tissue paper to give as gifts to our family. Suggestion. Split off 1/4 portion of the dough and color it yellow. Leave the bigger portion white. Then divide up equal number of balls of both colors. Flatten a white ball, insert a yellow ball, then shape your white around it & form your egg shape. When the finished egg is bitten into, there will be a yellow center inside the white !! Secondly......I use Royal Icing & cake decorating kit to add flowers, designs, and the person's initial...adds a nice personal touch to the gift. Happy Easter ! Jubbies_Mom xo

Warning: do not double this recipe if you've never tried them before! Whatever am I going to do with over 60 eggs!! : ) These are yummy, but somewhat addictive. They are pure sugar- definitely a good idea to make them and GET RID OF THEM! I tried making the two colors like Jubbies suggested, and would recommend that, but my "yolks" got a bit mushed once I shaped the whites into an egg shape. I also had trouble getting chocolate to hold onto the bottom of the eggs, but I'm no candy expert. I also found that you have to tap the fork against the pan to get the chocolate to coat evenly and drop off. I added a bit of shortning to the chocolate to make it runnier. The eggs have the texture of a homemade butter mint and a similar flavor, though without the mint. I wouldn't recommend making them much larger than a small chicken egg, since they are soooo sweet. Thanks for a fun recipe Derf!
