SuGar EGgs Or ChoColate EGgs?

Even though my daughter, Dawn, has my Easter candy molds I still can make Chocolate-Covered Cocoanut/Peanut Butter Easter Eggs each year. These large candy eggs are hand-made without using a mold, covered in rich chocolate, and decorated. All you need is a couple medium-sized bowls, wax paper, and some colored icing to get started. My home-madeChocolate-Covered Cocoanut/Peanut Butter Easter Eggs takes around a half an hour each to prepare (not counting the time to chill the eggs) and makes one pound or two half pound eggs.

Cocoanut Egg

1 lb powered sugar
½ c condensed milk
1 stick of melted margarine
1 c cocoanut
½ c chopped nuts (optional)

Mix ingredients thoroughly by hand in a medium-sized bowl and shape into one or two large eggs. Place on wax paper and chill for one hour. Then dip chilled egg in melted chocolate. Let sit until egg is room temperature and slice with a sharp knife to serve. May decorate Chocolate-Covered Cocoanut Egg with colored icing!

Peanut Butter Egg

1 lb powered sugar
1 c crunchy or creamy peanut butter
1 stick of melted margarine
1 tsp vanilla

Mix ingredients thoroughly by hand in a medium-sized bowl and shape into one or two large eggs. Place on wax paper and chill for one hour. Then dip chilled egg in melted chocolate. Let sit until egg is room temperature and slice with a sharp knife to serve. May decorate Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Egg with colored icing!

I was thinking that it would be really nice to do a fun Holiday project this time around. I heard about making these sugar eggs from some of the ladies and I also saw these chocolate eggs that look really yummy. Please let me know what you think by tomorrow so that we can get all the Materials needed. Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Either would be fun to make. The sugar eggs look prettier but the chocolate eggs look so yummy. Looking forward to whatever!
