These turned out fabulous for me. I did freeze them before coating, as recommended in the previous review, which cut down a lot on the crumbs. I made them for my ladies Bunco group and they were a HUGE hit.

I made these last night and I would probably freeze the eggs once I cut them out because when the frosting was put over them they had a tendency to break up a little so you couldn't use the frosting that dripped off of them over. The frosting seemed the right consistency at first but when I started using it, it became a little thicker and harder to use. The taste was good but there has to be a better way of getting the frosting on them to cover the whole thing
