Re: Makin' Candy Easter Eggs
That's great! Where do you get those cellophane bags? I may have to try this idea.

I had those left over from my daughter's wedding (candy bar), but I purchased them at Hobby Lobby. It did make the presentation more attractive and easier to handle.
Before I just wrapped them in clear wrap.

I sell these for $1

I *thought* I recognized that PB jar! LOL My youngest daughter lives on PB&J sandwiches... we go through a LOT of PB. Aldi's is great!

Form in the shape of a egg - place on cookie sheet and put in freezer for a short time or fridge for one hour.
Melt 4 - 5 oz. Hershey bar's with 1/2 stick of paraffin in a double broiler. Use a long two-prong fork and roll in chocolate, place on waxed paper to dry. Decorate as creatively as you desire. Yield 24
Buttercream eggs
2 stick butter - room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Almost two pounds of powdered sugar - make firm, but not crumbly.
If you get either too stiff just add a little more butter to soften up so it's not crumbly.
Place in fridge to firm up. Melt one bag of white chocolate chips and 1/2 stick of paraffin. Dip. Yield 12
