Cadberry Eggs - The REAL Egg Mother Nature Intended

I have a problem. I admit it. I am in LOVE with Cadbury Eggs. Only the original, large Cadbury Eggs will do. My mouth is watering as I type. Tell me, how in the world is a girl suppose to train for the Monument 10K with Cadberry Eggs currently for sale?! I had my first Cadbury of 2009 last night when Ryan bought 6 at the grocery store. I was so excited - it was Christmas all over again! Of course I immediately shoved one in my mouth on my way up to bed (it is very good on the teeth!) - had another 1 for breakfast (wholesome) - Ryan stole one for school (do you blame him?) - I ate another 1 for lunch (seriously, I can't help myself) ... leaving 2 for dinner and bedtime. As the eggs dwindle in numbers, they become more and more precious.

And my lovely twins wholeheartedly agree. This afternoon I came downstairs to find 2 of the happiest little chocolate faces you have ever seen (and nope, I wasn't looking in a mirror). I am not kidding that I actually choked back a tear when I realized they had found my last 2 precious eggs.

Homemade Cadbury Eggs
Ingredients:
1/2 cups light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teas. vanilla
1/4 teas. salt
3 cups powdered sugar
4 drops yelllow food coloring
2 drops red food coloring
1 − 12 oz. bag milk chocolate chips
2 Tbls. shortening

Directions:
Combine corn syrup, butter, vanilla and salt in large bowl. Beat well with electric mixer. Add sugar, one cup at a time, mixing by hand after each addition. Remove about 1/3 of the mix and place in small bowl. Add yellow & red coloring and stir. Cover both mixes and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

When mixes are firm, roll a small ball from the orange filling and wrap around it a portion of the white filling that is twice that size. Form into the shape of an egg and place onto a cookie sheet that has been brushed with shortening. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Refrigerate 3−4 hrs.

Combine chocolate chips with shortening in glass bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Then stir and microwave another minute. Use a fork to dip each center into the chocolate. Place candy onto wax paper to dry. After 1−2 hours of chilling, dip each candy one more time and chill.
