Jell-O Pudding Eggs

A fun treat for Easter, or they can also be made into ball form for Christmas or just a nice dinner party dessert. These are pretty rich, but addictive! This recipe seems to be from Kraft, but I'm not sure, as I only have a copy.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 24
• Yields: 24 eggs

Ingredients

• 1 (113 g) package  jell-o instant pudding mix
• 1⁄3 cup boiling water
• 1⁄3 cup margarine
• 3  cups icing sugar, sifted
• 6  white chocolate baking squares
• 6  semi-sweet chocolate baking squares
•  colored  candy sprinkles (optional) or  icing sugar (optional)

Directions

1. Stir pudding, water and margarine in a large bowl until smooth.
2. Mix in sugar by cupfuls, stirring until mixture forms a ball. Form into 3-cm. (1 1/2-inch) egg shapes. Refrigerate until firm.
3. Partially melt chocolate in separate bowls over hot water until 2/3 melted. Remove from heat and continue stirring until all chocolate is melted and smooth.
4. Dip eggs into chocolate and place on a sheet of wax paper to harden; decorate with coloured sprinkles or icing.
5. For a more sophisticated look, experiment with dipping or swirling the eggs in both types of chocolate. This can make some nice light-dark or swirl patterns.
6. For multi-coloured eggs, make 2 fillings using 2 pudding flavours. Roll small centres from 1 flavour and surround by second flavour.
