Amber Like Easter Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, margarine, cream cheese and vanilla extract. Divide the batter in half and place each half of the batter in a bowl on its own. Stir peanut butter into one of the bowls and coconut into the second.
• Using your hands, mold the dough into egg-shapes and arrange the forms on cookie sheets. Place the eggs in the freezer until frozen.
• Once the eggs have frozen, melt the chocolate and shortening in the top of a double-boiler. Dip the eggs into the chocolate until coated. Place the eggs on wax paper lined cookie sheets and return to the freezer to harden. After the chocolate has hardened the eggs can be kept in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Dampen the egg and put on the herbs for decoration (I use peppermint leaves).
• For polka dotted pattern, use grains coating the egg with rice, groats etc.
• For lines, use yarn twisting around the egg.
• Prepare stockings or gauze cutting in the pieces of two sizes bigger than egg.
• Fill the stocking or gauze (or wrinkled paper can be used too) with onion skins and put the egg inches Stretch the fabric all around the egg and tie with thread.
• Steep the eggs in a pot filled with water. Boil for about 12 minutes, until they are completely dyed.
• For brighter color add salt to water.
• When the eggs are boiled, remove them with a slotted spoon. Refrigerate, unwrap the eggs and look what has drawing up.
• In order to shine, grease the eggs with butter or bacon skin.

Steps:

• 1. Mix together butter, cream cheese, and vanilla well.
• 2. Add the box of powdered sugar mix well. Split in half.
• 3. In one half, add the bag of coconut and beat well. In the other half, add the peanut butter beat until combined well.
• 4. Shape into easter eggs and freeze for half an hour on wax paper on cookie sheet.
• 5. Melt your semi-sweet morsels in the microwave in 30-second intervals with the butter or Crisco till hot; about 2 minutes.
• 6. Take out a small batch and dip into chocolate. I shake them to get off excess chocolate and place them back onto wax paper. I put colored nonpareils on the coconut, so we can tell them apart. Put in fridge for about 30 minutes then put into airtight containers. Separate the layers with wax paper. ENJOY, they are sooo good.
