August 25, 2006, Newsletter Issue #19: Homemade Chocolate Easter Eggs
Tip of the Week
Imagine the irresistible aroma of chocolate baking in your home for Easter Day. If you want to make your own homemade chocolate Easter eggs, just follow this recipe and you'll have your own sweet treats to help celebrate Easter.
You'll need these ingredients:
1 cup of butter
4 teaspoons of vanilla
2 teaspoons of salt
1 can of condensed milk
10 cups of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of yellow food coloring
1 pound of semi-sweet chocolate
Mix together butter, vanilla, and salt. Whip until fluffy. Add condensed milk, sugar, and blend to thick consistency. Knead mixture and then set aside 2/3 of the entire portion.
Take the remaining 1/3 portion and add yellow food coloring. Divide yellow mixture and white mixture into approximately 20 pieces.
Shape the yellow pieces into a ball to form the yolk. Shape the white pieces around the yolk to form an egg shape. Place pieces on paper towel to cool at room temperature for 24 hours.
The next day, melt chocolate in microwave or double boiler to a smooth consistency. Dip egg pieces and coat in melted chocolate. Allow to cool at room temperature and then refrigerate chocolate eggs.
To complete your Easter eggs, buy colored foil to individually wrap each egg!
