How to make chocolate easter eggs:
- you will need melted butter. so take a 3 qt. saucepan and melt
butter into it.
- when the butter is melted stir in pudding mix and blend until
it gets smooth.
- you should gradually stir in milk.
- you need to cook this mixture over medium heat and keep stirring
constantly.
- a little later the mixture will get very thick and start boiling.
- when it is sufficiently thick it will leave the sides of the pan
and then remove the saucepan from heat.
- then you should add to it powdered sugar and vanilla. mix well
until smooth and stir in walnuts.
- you should allow the mixture cool so that it is stiff enough to
hold its desired shape.
- so the moment the mixture is stiff enough shape it into 12 eggs,
using about 2 t. for each.
- now place them on the waxed paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate
for 30 min.
- after 30 min. you need to dip each egg in cooled chocolate and
place them on a cooling rack over waxed paper.
- finally it is time to arrange marshmallow flowers over the eggs.
but make sure that you do it before the chocolate sets.
- marshmallow flowers
- firstly cut mini marshmallows in thirds crosswise.
- then dip cut side of each piece into colored sugar.
- in order to resemble flowers you need to arrange 5 pieces, sugared
side up, on each egg.
- store in the fridge.
