CADBURY CREME EGGS

I got this recipe off of {INSTRUCTABLES} and it seems easy enough. If you're not concerned with looks, it's incredible simple, but if you want actual hollow eggs with the filling inside you'll need some egg molds.

INGREDIENTS

• 
  
• 1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup

  1/4 cup butter, room temperature

  3 cups confectioner's powdered sugar (icing sugar)

  1 teaspoon vanilla

  1/4 teaspoon salt

  Yellow food coloring

  12 oz bag of milk chocolate chips

  
  

  * If you choose the dipping method, you may want to consider adding 2 teaspoons of non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening to the chocolate to thin it and make it easier for dipping.

• 1. Creme together the corn syrup, butter and vanilla. Sift in the confectioner's powdered sugar and beat until incorporated.
  
  
  3. Take out about a third of the filling and stir in some yellow food coloring to match the color of an egg yolk. Place both bowls in the refrigerator for about an hour to help set a bit and make it easier to work with.
  
  
  4. With clean and cold hands, roll little yolk balls out of the yellow mixture. Place them on some parchment, and place in the fridge or freezer to firm up.
  
  
  5. Scoop an amount of white filling out and flatten into a circle. Place the yolk ball inside, and wrap the white around it. Stick it in the fridge once again to set.

  
  

  6. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave. Fill the mold with the chocolate and swirl to coat the sides. Once the molds are set, plot a filling ball into half of each mold. Using more melted chocolate, join the two halves of the egg together. Let set in the freezer and de-mold.

  
  

  *6b. If you aren't using molds, melt the chocolate and 2 teaspoons of shortening in the microwave in short bursts until just melted. Dip fillings into the chocolate with a fork or skewers and let set on parchment. Once chocolate is set, dip them again for a chocolatier shell.
