I wonder how this would be to make one BIG egg?? Any thoughts?

I didn't mind making the eggs, however, they were way too sweet for my liking, and everyone else. I made them for Easter, and five people split one egg. Maybe I made them too big, but from the batch, I made 24 eggs.

I had fun making these eggs. I used my devilled egg trays to shape them, however the eggs ere only half shape not a full egg. I sprayed the trays with vegetable spray and it worked very well. I used 4 tsp shortening with 12 oz of chips but there was still lots of choc left over. Try using less choc with 2 tbsp shortening. The eggs tasted great.

These eggs are really small and IF I made them again, I would make a little larger. I found when making the yellow centers, if you dipped your hands in water, they were very easy to form. I didn't want to add any more sugar to this already sugar loaded treat. Because they are so small, it was hard to decorate with frosting. They do taste good and look nice. Allow plenty of time to prepare.

Made these today with very tasty results. Only thing I would change is to add about 1/2 cup more of confectioners sugar to the filling mixture. It was quite sticky to work with. I will make them again. Yum!

For adding to the melted chocolate use the Crisco/shortening for best results for coating candies. Or you may have a mess of curdled looking chocolate to dip them in.

shortening = vegetable shortening Notes: Crisco is a popular brand. Substitutes: butter (1 cup shortening = 1 cup + 2 tablespoons butter; butter is better tasting than shortening but more expensive and has cholesterol and a higher level of saturated fat; makes cookies less crunchy, bread crusts more crispy) OR margarine (1 cup shortening = 1 cup + 2 tablespoons margarine; margarine is better tasting than shortening, but more expensive; makes cookies less crunchy, bread crusts tougher) OR lard (1 C shortening = 1 C - 2 tablespoons lard; lard has cholesterol and a higher level of saturated fat)
