These are good & I like the idea that you get many kinds out of one batch. I thought the peanut butter ones lacked that peanut butter flavor, but it may be just me. Next time I'll play around with some other flavors which is really the best part of this recipe. There are so many differnt combinations you could do. Will definitely make again. I did use a dipping chocolate over the chocolate chips though--works better and you don't have to worry about tempering the chocolate & it maybe getting bloom. A mini crockpot works great for this--put chocolate in, let it sit stirring every so often so it doesn't burn on sides, when almost melted unplug it & the chocolate will finish melting & stay melted for a long time. I made smaller eggs so that they were easier to dip-if prefer larger eggs then you'll have to use two forks. I used different colored chocolates to decorate the outside like an Easter egg & to tell them apart. Also used different chocolates to dip-did chocolate egg in white chocolate, did peanut butter in dark chocolate & cream in dark chocolate. I didn't do the coconut because I was also serving macaroons so was worried about having too much.

This was an incredible recipe! I only separated it into thirds because I'm not a big chocolate (center) fan and from what others' reviews on it were. And, instead of forming them into egg shapes, I cheated and bought a silicone cupcake pan and just coated the insides with chocolate up the rim. Then I set them in the freezer until hardened (about 5 minutes), filled up the molds with the filling about 7/8 full and sealed them in with melted chocolate. I gave them to some family and neighbors and they thought they were store bought! PERFECT!!! Next time I'll get some white chocolate and color it with Easter colors and hand paint the designs on them. I did one batch with 1 1/2 tsp. of peppermint extract and it tasted just like a peppermint patty, only better! The peanut butter ones were the favorite of everyone (because my family is peanut butter lovers. I did have a problem with the first batch of peanut butter being a little to dry, so the next batch I just added a Tablespoon at a time of milk and it made them perfect! And the third batch I did with maraschino cherries chopped up and a little cherry extract. Those were the favorites of everyone that I had to stash some for myself and the husband! They were superb! Thank you kindly for such a fantastic recipe! My kids have LOVED helping me make these, not to mention they gobble them down before they even hit the fridge!

I use melted Merckens chocolate discs, not chips and vegetable oil (the best tasting chocolate for these in my book are the Mercken's discs). Also, I noted that you should refrigerate for a short while so the candies are easier to roll and dip. These steps might help make these a favorite for you.

Yum! I followed the directions (although, for me, 2½ pounds of icing sugar came to 10 cups) until step 2. My husband is allergic to coconut, so I did one part plain, one part peanut butter, one part Nutella (I used about 2/3 cup of the chocolate-hazelnut spread), and one part chocolate-orange (about ½ cup or so of cocoa and ½ tsp or so of orange extract, and then I mixed it in my hands to avoid crumbly batter). To make the egg-like shape, I rolled slightly-heaping teaspoonfuls of batter in my palms until it was like a ball and then I squished-and-rolled the ball slightly. Egg-like enough for me. :) I ended up with 61 'eggs'. I'm also using the chocolate melties for the coating. I'll add to my review after dipping, but the Nutella filling is AWESOME!!

This is a great recipe and makes lots of eggs! Instead of coconut I made cherry-nut with maraschino cherries. They were all good. A keeper.

We love this recipe. I've made it 3 times since last Easter and am about to make it again. I do add a little more peanut butter to the eggs. However, I found the cocoa powder eggs to be hard and gross. We stick with the buttercream and peanut butter egss....Yum!

Followed the mint suggestion, added 1/2 teaspoon mint extract to the plain quarter. Combined 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa, 1/4 cup hot chocolate mix and 1/4 cup chocolate milk powder for the chocolate ones, which worked well. Just cocoa would have been dry/bitter. Eggs tasted very good and held together well, but you have to keep them somewhere cool. Peanut butter was the best imo. You'll need more than 2 cups of chips to dip them all, but they're fine undipped too.

These are the best. They are so easy and fun and look like you spent alot of time, but didn't.

I only made the chocolate & coconut eggs, but they were delicious. The filling was a bit of a challange to shape into little eggs because the heat of your hands softened the butter up. For a festive Easter treat it was definitely worth the messiness.

Although most of them were good, they were a lot of work. The cream and coconut were the best. The peanut butter and cocoa were drier, so I will add less next time. They did get better the longer they sat. Got a lot of compliments on these.
