I know it isn't Easter but who says you can't shape these into balls or patties. Tasty in any season. Ingredients:
5 lbs confectioners' sugar |
3/4 lb of softened butter |
1/2 pint heavy cream |
1 1/2 cups peanut butter |
2 lbs coconut |
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips |
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped |
1/2 paraffin wax block, chopped |
Directions:
1. Mix sugar.
2. butter.
3. peanut butter and coconut.
4. Add cream slowly until mixture will hold its shape when squeezed in your fist.
5. Form into 60 small eggs .
6. Coating: Melt chocolates and wax in a double boiling.
7. Dip eggs in chocolate and let cool (I use small bamboo skewers set at a slant in a baking rack to hold candy while cooling).
