Chocolate Cherry Easter Eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 2 packages (3 oz. each) vanilla pudding (not instant)
- 1 (9 oz.) jar maraschino cherries
- 1 cup pecans or walnuts, finely chopped
- 1-2 lbs. powdered sugar
- 1 lb. chocolate, melted
If you really want to make these extra scrumptious, use gourmet chocolate from Chocolate Source. :)
Cut cherries in half and drain well on paper towels.
Combine milk, butter, and pudding in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until well blended and thick.
Remove from heat and stir in cherries and nuts. Gradually add powdered sugar until mixture becomes firm enough to shape well.
Coat hands with butter and form mixture into egg shapes. Place on waxed paper covered tray and chill for a couple hours until firm.
Melt chocolate over double boiler or in microwave. Do not overheat. If you use the microwave, stir every 30 seconds until smooth.
Dip eggs in melted chocolate and return to waxed paper to set.
Decorating Ideas: After covering the eggs in chocolate you can decorate them with candy confetti of different colors or shapes. You could also choose to decorate the egg with a butter cream icing and decorating tips. For a great price on these supplies visit Candyland Crafts.
