These were fantastic! Although I did make a few adjustments after reading the reviews. I used only 3 cups confectioners sugar and 1/2 cup butter. I also used Hershey's Milk Chocolate chips instead, because the semi-sweet is far too bitter for my liking as a candy coating. By using the milk chocolate they came out very similar to Reese's peanut butter eggs! For the adults I drizzled white chocolate on top for decoration, and I wrote names on the other eggs for the kids with frosting. *Frosting tip if you DON'T have pastry bags* Place colored frosting in a Ziploc, remove excess air and seal. Carefully cut the bottom corner off and you'll end up with a small hole for the frosting to flow through for decorating. Also, make sure you use Ziploc brand bags as cheaper bags tend to rip.

These were absolutely delicious! I used a coverture chocolate along with semisweet chocolate for the coating and it was perfect.

These are delicious! And addicting! My boyfriend and I made them for Easter and both of our families absolutely loved them. Much tastier than Reeses eggs!

I made these and took the advice of some of the other reviewers and only used 3 cups of confectioner's sugar, however, I did have to use more semi-sweet chocolate chips because I ran out before I had dipped all of the eggs. My husband absolutely thought these were great! I loved the crispy rice cereal and I used chunky peanut butter which gave that extra crunch!

The only change I made to this recipe was that I used microwave-ready dipping chocolate instead of chips and shortening just to save a little bit of time. These were a huge hit. The only thing.... they were SUPER rich! (not a bad thing, though!) the next time I make them, I will make smaller eggs as the richness makes it impossible for me to eat an entire egg. :-)

These are really easy to make and very yummy. I halved the recipe and still got 18 eggs! I did not add the shortening to the chocolate so it was a little thicker and harder to dip the eggs in but that's ok with me, they were still very yummy and the kids ate them up. I am definitely going to make these again for Easter.

Just like Grandma used to make! I shaped mine into ball form instead of egg. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and loved how great they turned out!
