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.

I made these eggs for my family and they were a big disappointment. They were too sweet and the chocolate coating was too thick.

These eggs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I would probably cut the sugar in half next time.

These eggs were a lot of work to make, and they didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The coconut cream filling was a bit grainy, and the chocolate coating was too thick.
