over 5 hrs

ingredients

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon corn syrup
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
11 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar)
food coloring

DIPPING CHOCOLATE
4 packages semisweet chocolate squares, MELTED WITH
2/3 cup vegetable shortening

directions

In large bowl combine condensed milk, corn syrup, salt and vanilla. Add icing sugar in 3 or 4 batches, stirring well after each addition. Knead until mixture holds its shape and is smooth and pliable.

Divide into thirds. Wrap 2/3 in plastic wrap; set aside. Do not refrigerate. Tint remaining 1/3 yellow and roll into balls (yolks). Chill 30 minutes.

Divide remaining white mixture into serving-size pieces. Flatten each slightly and wrap around yellow yolks to form egg shapes. Place eggs on tray; cover with plastic wrap. Chill 4 hours.

Prepare dipping chocolate. Use a fondue fork to dip eggs into chocolate.
