I made these a couple years ago but forgot to review. They were seriously so tasty! I am not kidding when I say that I nearly ate the entire batch by myself. They were easy but a bit time consuming and I noticed as I formed my eggs, they kept getting bigger and bigger because they were taking a while. My mouth waters every time I think about these eggs. Thanks for this yummy recipe!

Turned out great. I doubled the recipe and did not see how much powdered sugar I used. I just kept adding it until I thought it was enough.

Very easy to make, my 3 and 6 yo kids helped to make them and had alot of fun with it. They are however VERY sweet. You definately need something to drink while eating these and the smaller you can make them the better. Thank you for a great recipe to make with the kids.
