BUTTER CREAM EASTER EGG CANDIES
My grandmother used to make these every year at Easter. They taste very similar to the 'Mary Sue' butter cream Easter eggs that they used to sell during Easter-time when I was a kid.

Steps:
- Using an electric hand mixer, mix together the cream cheese and butter until it becomes one creamy mixture. Add the vanilla and continue to mix until incorporated.
- Add the butter and cream cheese mixture to the sugar. Then knead together as if making dough. Once the mixture is combined, take pieces that are about the size of your palm and roll them into egg shapes. Place them on wax paper or parchment paper and then in the refrigerator until they are firm.
- Melt the chocolate and shortening in a small bowl set over a pot of warm water, making a "double boiler." Do not let the water boil because you don't want the chocolate to get too warm.
- Stir the chocolate constantly and scrape the sides of bowl.
- Remove the bowl from the pot once the chocolate is melted. Use a fork to dip the prepared butter cream "eggs" into the melted chocolate. Dip the whole egg in the chocolate and gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove extra chocolate. Place the coated egg onto a wax paper-covered tray or cookie sheet. Place the tray in the refrigerator to chill 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.

Steps:
- Mix the butter and cream cheese together.
- (I put in the microwave for 30-45 secs. to soften).
- Add the confectionary sugar about 1 cup at a time, along with vanilla, and mix well. (I use my hands).
- Place the mixture in the freezer to chill for at least 20 minutes (You want it firm, but not frozen, so check it from time to time).
- Form the mixture into egg shapes with your hands. (It is helpful to put some confectionary sugar on your hands so the eggs don't stick to them).
- When you are done making the eggs, put them in freezer again for at least 25 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate in a a double boiler.
- Dip the bottom of the egg into the chocolate, then place it on a small flat dish. Take a spoon, and spoon some melted chocolate on top, spreading around with a butter knife. (Make sure you don't get it on too thick, or you won't have enough for the whole batch).
- Arrange the chocolate coated eggs on an aluminum foil paper lined tray.
- When done making eggs, put in the freezer for a few minutes to harden eggs.
- Place each egg in a pastel colored paper cupcake cup.
- Store in the refrigerator, covered with aluminum foil.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the butter, vanilla, and cream cheese. Stir in confectioners' sugar to make a workable dough. For best results, use your hands for mixing.
- Divide the dough into four parts. Leave one of the parts plain. To the second part, mix in peanut butter. Mix coconut into the third part, and cocoa powder into the last part. Roll each type of dough into egg shapes, and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate until hard, at least an hour.
- Melt chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick for coating, stir in a teaspoon of the shortening or oil until it thins to your desired consistency. Dip the chilled candy eggs in chocolate, and return to the waxed paper lined sheet to set. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour to harden.

- Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg yolks, egg, and salt until pale and thick, about 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring granulated sugar and ¼ cup water to a boil in a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Continue to cook, swirling occasionally (but not stirring), until thermometer registers 248° (this is the firm-ball stage). With motor running, gradually pour syrup into egg mixture just where the eggs meet the sides of the bowl (you want to avoid the beaters to keep sugar from splattering). Beat until eggs are light and fluffy and the outside of bowl is cool to the touch, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in butter a piece at a time, mixing until incorporated before adding the next piece. If mixture looks either soupy or curdled, continue to beat until an emulsion forms and mixture is light and thick (this could take several minutes). Mix in chocolate and vanilla.
- Do ahead: Buttercream can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 1 month. Bring to room temperature and beat again before using. (Thaw frozen buttercream in refrigerator overnight before bringing to room temperature.)

- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese on medium-speed until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed; about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract and salt. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add in the confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition, until all of the sugar has been added. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour. Scoop 2 tablespoon sized portions of the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, form each round into egg shapes. If the mixture is sticking to your hands, try coating them in a little confectioners' sugar. Once all of the eggs have been shaped, place the pan into the freezer for at least an hour.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate and 2 teaspoons of oil. Microwave on low power, in 30 second increments, stirring in between each increment, until completely melted. Set aside to cool for a few moments while you prepare the white chocolate, if using. In a second microwave safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and remaining 1 teaspoon of oil. Microwave on low power, in 30 second increments, stirring in between each increment, until completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly while you dip the eggs in the semi-sweet chocolate.
- Carefully dip each butter cream egg in the melted semi-sweet chocolate. I did this by placing each butter cream egg on a small fork, quickly dipping it into the chocolate, then quickly pulling it back out, allowing the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl before placing the egg back on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat with all of the butter cream eggs. Drizzle a little white chocolate on top of each egg, then set aside until the chocolate has set; about 2 hours. You can speed this up by placing the eggs in the refrigerator.

- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar and beat on low for 1 minute. Add the cream, vanilla and almond extracts, then beat on high for 3 minutes or until completely smooth and creamy. Taste, then beat in a pinch of salt if needed. (It’s supposed to be very sweet!) The mixture will be very sticky. Cover the bowl tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. Chilling makes shaping the buttercream filling a little easier.
- Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Scoop 1 Tablespoon of the buttercream mixture and roll into a ball. Flatten the ball between your palms and use your fingers to thin out one end into an egg shape. The egg should be roughly 1/2 – 3/4 inch thick. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining buttercream mixture. The buttercream mixture may be a little crumbly, but the warmth of your hands will bring it together. If you find the buttercream mixture becoming too soft to handle, chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can powder your hands with confectioners’ sugar, which helps prevent the buttercream from sticking to your hands.
- Chill the shaped buttercream eggs in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. During the last few minutes of the chilling time, begin melting the chocolate and oil together. You can melt it in a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave: place the chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl. I recommend using a liquid measuring cup because its depth makes dipping really easy. Melt in 20 second increments in the microwave, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Let the warm chocolate sit for 6-8 minutes to slightly cool before dipping, otherwise it will melt the buttercream filling.
