fondant easter eggs
When I lived in Gaithersburg, Md, a friend of mine made these wonderful candies for Easter, and shared the recipe. They are very good! She always let her children help with the rolling into shapes, so it is also fun to make!

How To Make fondant easter eggs
-
1Cream margarine, vanilla and salt. Add milk and sugar gradually. Smooth not sticky, then add flavoring to taste:
-
2Chocolate--add cocoa powder to taste ( I added 2 T cocoa) Peanut butter--add by spoonful to taste Coconut--shredded in bag to taste (I added 2 c sweetened coconut)
-
3Mold to shapes. Stick on wax paper lined cookie sheets in fridge to harden overnight.
-
4Dipping Chocolate: Add shortening to melted chips to thin. Dip 'em in to coat and put back in fridge.
-
5Made 4-1-21 for Easter. Cocoa and coconut flavors, since my niece doesn't like peanut butter. Each batch made between 36-40. I used a soup spoon from my kitchen silverware drawer to make the shapes. Note: if using peanut butter, you will definitely need more powdered sugar. LOL
