These delicious cream filled eggs taste just like a very famous store bought one. They are easy to make and kids and adults love them. When sliced these eggs will have a white cream filling with a yellow filling that appears to be the yolk. They look nice sitting in an Easter basket!!

1 cup soft butter
2 tsp salt
4 tsp vanilla
1 can sweetened condensed milk (Eagle Brand)
10 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. yellow food coloring
1 lb. semi-sweet chocolate

Beat butter, salt and vanilla until fluffy. Add milk, beat in sugar. Blend until stiff. Dust with brown sugar. Knead until smooth. Set aside more then 2/3 of mixture.

To the remaining mixture add yellow food coloring. Blend in well.

Divide yellow and white into 16 or 24 pieces. Shape yellow into balls, mold white around yellow to form an egg shape. Dry at room temperature on paper towels for 24 hours.

Melt chocolate in double boiler or in microwave until smooth. Dip eggs in chocolate (food-grade paraffin wax may be added and melted with chocolate to prevent chocolate from melting in your hands). Once dipped cool at room temperature. Refrigerate after cool.
