I do not need chocolate, I do not need chocolate, I do not need chocolate, I do not need chocolate, I do not need chocolate, I do not need chocolate....

Duh, I didn't even think of that!! I was sitting here thinking about what a pain it would be to blow out my tiny Polish eggs, those being my only white eggs (so I would dye them). When I've already got colored eggs that need no dying! Too bad my Ameraucanas aren't laying yet. Those would look awfully pretty together, the Marans eggs next to the blue/green. I guess I could do the Polish eggs, dye those blue, a nice robin's egg shade would look sweet next to the Marans. Hhhmmm....though, who am I kidding, I don't have the time to blow eggs, much less temper chocolate and fill them!!

With a crawling baby in the house, I'm lucky enough most days just to collect eggs!

Those of you who do this, you gotta post pics!!

I had DGD help me blow them, she thought it was cool!

I am cheating this year and found a 2.5lb. box(?) of Ghirardelli candy making & dipping bar at sam's club. You can even do this in the microwave! One of these days I will have a REAL temperer!

The recipe that I am using is from an old sunset mag.

I will post a pic after DH opens one and takes a bite!

HAPPY EASTER!!

chicken theif- You melt choc. pour it through the hole on the bottom (after taping up the one on top, of course) and swirl it all around inside to coat it all. Drain any extra out. Let it set in the fridge, then coat again. Put back in fridge. When it hardens it will just give you a hollow choc. shell. Then you can fill with whatever.

I usually make dipped coconut eggs that taste just like mounds, I put an almond on top of some so they are like almond joys. This year though I am making dipped peanut butter eggs instead.
