Do you have a favorite Easter treat? I like peeps and cadbury creme eggs, but I especially like coconut cream eggs. I found an easy recipe for them at www.thriftyfun.com.
Combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, a 1 lb. bag of coconut, one 2 lb. bag of powdered sugar, and 1 tsp. of vanilla.
Mix well and shape into eggs. I took about a handful of mix, patted it down, and used an egg-shaped cookie cutter to make my eggs.
I made 20 eggs, but you could make more or less depending on how you form your eggs. I placed them on a cookie sheet and refrigerated them for about an hour.
After about an hour, I melted a bag of chocolate chips over low heat until they were creamy.
Finally, I dipped the eggs in the chocolate until they were covered. Then I put them back into the refrigerator to chill.
Here's the final product. I wish that they had turned out prettier, but they still tasted good!
