Chocolate Covered Potato Eggs

Chocolate Covered Potato Eggs Paula’s Cooking This recipe is so intriguing and interesting. The 2 foods that are fixing to collide is sugar and mashed potatoes. It doesn’t sound logical does it but you’re going to be blown away by the flavor and the taste of these little chocolate eggs that I’m fixed to make for us. Now I’m going to take two 1 pound boxes of confectioner’s sugar. I have taken mash potatoes from yesterday and I have added a stick of butter so I’m going to take these mashed potatoes and I’m going to work them into our confectioner’s sugar and I’m just going to work that in and I’m going to add about a 1-1/2 of vanilla flavoring. If you want it on chocolate eggs sift about ¼ of a cup of cocoa powder and with your confectioner’s sugar. You could take candied cherries and top them up and have a cherry cream filling on the inside of these. I’m diving in with my hands now you all and the heat from my hand is going to break down that buttery mash potato and you can see how it’s already starting to stick together. You may find that you need to add a little bit more powdered sugar or a little bit more mash potato but either way it should come out the consistency of mars pan. So anyway you go your problems can be remedied so I think I’m going to make mine very close to the size of a real egg. So does that kind of look like the egg. Now you can make almost eggs the size of a jelly bean so now we’re just going to take our eggs and dip them and you can see the ones that have set how much better they dip than the softer ones so I would say to form your Easter Eggs into the desired shape and then maybe put them in a refrigerator and let them harden a little bit and then dip them which you can see I have taken just a plain flaked coconut and I’ve tossed it in a little green food coloring so it looks like the eggs are sitting on grass. I love melted chocolate so instead of getting one of those to set up I’m going to get this one with the soft chocolate, it’s delicious. You can see that creamy inside. The important thing on your eggs is that you be creative. You get in there with the children and let them create their own eggs if their beautiful that’s a bonus if their not it’s memories.
