This recipe is over 35 years old. My home economics teacher in high school had us make the eggs as a class project—and the candies have been a big hit ever since.—Julie Warren, Conyers, Georgia

We've made these yearly - quite the tradition. But, we know they're incredibly unhealthy. What works for us? We slice them and serve them that way and we freeze the eggs - works great! Everyone gets satisfied with just a little bit because they're so sweet. Very easy recipe and the kids help each time...

We actually liked these quite a lot. I only made half the recipe, and it was plenty. I did make them quite a bit smaller, more like tablespoon size.For those questioning the flavor of pudding, the original recipe from Country Woman specified chocolate or butterscotch pudding -- and note that it is the cook and serve type. I think instant pudding would be too sweet, and sugar-free pudding probably wouldn't work at all, so you will want to be sure you buy the right kind.I am planning to make these again this year, along with a peanut butter egg recipe from this same site.

Doesn't even specify what kind of pudding to use! we had to guess and it wasn't good at all!

We tried making these. Good idea, but the filling wasn't very good at all. Very sweet. We only used tablespoons of filling rather than 1/2 cup and they were too rich to finish, I can't imagine making them that big.
