Easter Coconut Eggs

By barbsjustagirl

The candy I make for Easter every year!

Ingredients

• Chocolate coating:
• 1 (14 oz) can Eagle brand sweetened milk
• 1 cup coconut
• 1/4 pound butter
• 1 tsp. coconut flavor
• 2 pounds powdered sugar (1 bag)
• 18 oz chocolate chips, (Toll House semi-sweet)
• 3/4 stick paraffin wax

Preparation

Step 1

Mix milk and coconut together.

Melt butter and add to milk/coconut mixture.

Add flavor and powdered sugar. Mix well and form into eggs. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Dip in chocolate.

Chocolate coating:

Melt chips and wax in a double boiler. Remove the top part of the boiler while dipping eggs. Reheat chocolate as needed. I use a skewer to dip my eggs into the chocolate and set on a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper to set up in the refrigerator. I then wrap my eggs in colored saran wrap and store in a bowl in the refrigerator.
