Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter -- softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar
4 drops yellow food coloring
2 drops red food coloring
12 ounces milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
Combine corn syrup, butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Beat
well with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing by hand after each
addition. Mix well until creamy.
Remove about 1/3 of the mixture and place it into a small bowl. Add
the yellow and red food colorings and stir well.
Cover both mixtures and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until
firm.
When mixtures are firm, roll a small, marble-sized ball from the
orange filling, and wrap around it a portion of the white filling
that
is roughly twice the size. Form this filling into the shape of an egg
and place it on a cookie sheet that has been brushed with a light
coating of shortening. Repeat for the remaining filling ingredients,
then refrigerate these centers for 3-4 hours or until firm.
Combine the milk chocolate chips with the shortening in a glass or
ceramic bowl. Microwave chocolate on high for 1 min., then stir and
microwave again for 1 min. more, and stir.
Use a fork to dip each center into the chocolate, tap the fork on the
side of the bowl, then place each candy onto waxed paper. Chill.
After 1-2 hours of chilling, dip each candy once more and chill for
several hours, or until completely firm.
