MOUNDS COCONUT CREAM EGGS WITH HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE COATING



Mounds Coconut Cream Eggs With Hershey's Chocolate Coating image

This is not for any dieters! They are addicting - in a good way of course. :) I think I got this off a Mounds coconut package - but don't remember for sure. I have made these at Eastertime for a lot of years. I also like to make them at Christmas time and tint the filling with either red or green food coloring. I am being general on the time. It will probably take a little less time.

Coconut cream eggs are one of my favorite Easter treats. The other two are Cadbury Cream eggs and marshmallow Peeps. I was thrilled to death to find this rich and creamy recipe for coconut eggs so I could make them year-round. The coconut centers can also be dyed to match the holiday.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut for the best flavor. If using dried coconut, be sure to rehydrate it in warm water before using.
  • Don't overmix the coconut mixture. Overmixing will make the eggs tough.
  • Chill the eggs for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set more quickly and smoothly.
  • Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate. This will prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate to see if it's ready by dipping a spoon into the chocolate and then holding it over a cold surface. If the chocolate sets quickly and smoothly, it's ready.
  • Store the eggs in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

These Mounds Coconut Cream Eggs with Hershey's Chocolate Coating are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
