2. I thought they looked delicious when they first came out, but
Dear God, I think they're awful.

Now, the Cadbury mini-eggs, those suckers are delicious.

3. Mini-creme eggs, or the candy-coated chocolate ones?
Many and fair are the paths to the Divine.

5. The candy coated chocolate ones.
The creme ones on the inside look too much like the real deal to me. I'm not big on eating albumin.

27. that's exactly how I feel

4. Infernal--however...!
Let me anywhere near Cadbury caramel eggs and I would go into a sugar coma before I'd have the sense to quit eating them.

Because I'm a big overgrown kid and I like chocolate bunnies. And peeps. And those funny pastel colored "eggs" that have something in them that I like but can't identify.

28. I love them all.
The chocolate-filled, the caramel-filled, the original pseudo-egg white and yolk-filled ones. Post-Valentine's Day, I have to talk myself out of buying them every time I go to the supermarket.

30. Now there's someone who understands!
I would like to be in on the genetic engineering program that yielded the sweetly magical hens that lay these eggs.

I don't like the originals so much, and have yet to try the chocolate filled, but the candy coated and caramel ones are :evilgrin:

40. Make your own...
http://www.internationalrecipes.net/recipes/view.pl?2877


1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar
4 drops yellow food coloring
2 drops red food coloring
1 12-ounce bags milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening

1. Combine the corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing by hand after each addition. Mix well until creamy.
3. Remove about 1/3 of the mixture and place it into a small bowl. Add the yellow and red food coloring and stir well to combine.
4. Cover both mixtures and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
5. When mixtures are firm, roll a small, marble-size ball from the orange filling, and wrap around it a portion of the white filling that is roughly twice the size. Form this filling into the shape of an egg and place it onto a cookie sheet that has been brushed with a light coating of shortening. Repeat for the remaining filling ingredients, then refrigerate these centers for 3-4 hours or until firm.
6. Combine the milk chocolate chips with the shortening in a glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave chocolate on high speed for 1 minute, then stir and microwave again for 1 more minute, and stir.
7. Use a fork to dip each center into the chocolate, tap the fork on the side of the bowl, then place each candy onto wax paper. Chill.
8. After 1-2 hours of chilling, dip each candy once more and chill for several hours, or until completely firm. Makes 2 dozen candy eggs.
