It is time again to share one of my dear departed Mother's recipes. I really miss her thinking about Easter! She always loved Easter. As a child I would sit with my Mom while she made home made Chocolate covered Easter Eggs for family and friends, and then some. When I got in my teens I would dress as the Easter Bunny and Mom and I would go around passing out the eggs and having a great time. There was a special feeling doing this together that I will never forget!
If you want to be festive, you can get a white isolation suit from your local hospital and bunny ears at a novelty shop and a big white bow and be the Easter Bunny. Put the bow on the back of the suit just above your behind, wear ears, use makeup for making your nose black, and add whiskers, and perhaps some pink lips and there you go! You are an Easter Bunny!
To make the presentation of the eggs more fun, I suggest you set up a good old Easter Egg Hunt. I like to fill plastic eggs with wrapped candy and some with money, mostly change but also a few one dollar bills or 5 dollar bills! The kids love to find the money. I think they enjoy that more than the candy sometimes.
One thing I recommend is to NEVER hide real eggs in your home. If you do write down on a list every where you have hidden one to make sure they are all found. If you don't it won't take long for you to smell it and find it and that is no fun. I learned that the hard way, yuck!
And now, just for you, here is the recipe!
Easter Eggs
Ingredients
1 lb Butter (Not Margarine)
4 lbs Confectioner's Sugar
fruit and nuts and cherries or coconut
Enough canned milk to form Egg
3 lbs Baker's Chocolate
1 Cake paraffin
Directions
1. In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except chocolate and paraffin
2. Form into egg shapes and lay on wax paper
3. Chill
4. Melt chocolate and paraffin over double boiler
5. Dip chilled eggs into chocolate mixture and put on wax paper.
6. Cool and decorate as desired
I hope you have fun making these and perhaps make it a tradition with your kids. I promise they will never forget and will always have a special memory making these eggs with you~
Have a Blessed Easter.
