1

Unwrap chocolate candies. Line tray with wax paper.

Using fork dip chocolate candies in melted white creme chips. (If mixture is too hot the chocolate will start to melt. Cool until chocolate does not begin to melt when dipped). Tap fork on edge of container to remove excess white coating. (If coating becomes too thick, microwave at MEDIUM 10 seconds and stir). Place on prepared tray. Allow coating to harden.

With sharp knife scrape or cut away "chocolate foot" that forms and any bits of hardened coating that are irregular. Lightly buff surface of coated egg with paper towel to smooth out any bumps.

6

NOTE: This amount will easily coat 12 eggs.
