Chocolate Easter Eggs

This is a wonderful Easter treat. These are so easy and very delicious. Lemon pudding is my favorite, but I also like chocolate and vanilla. I'm going to try chocolate with a bit of mint flavoring for chocolate mint eggs. I hope it's as good as it sounds. You could make other shapes and have them for any holiday you'd like.

Ingredients:
1 pkg. (4 serving size)Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling (DO NOT USE SUGAR FREE)
1/3 cup boiling water
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 cups unsifted powdered sugar
1 pkg. (8 squares)Semi Sweet Baking Chocolate
2 squares White Baking Chocolate

Preparation:
Stir dry (unprepared) pudding mix, boiling water and butter in large bowl until well blended.

Add powdered sugar by cupfuls, stirring after each addition until mixture forms a ball. Form scant tablespoonfuls of pudding mixture into about 30 small (about 1 1/2 inches long) oval shaped eggs. (If pudding mixture is too soft, refrigerate for about 15 minutes to firm slightly before shaping.) Refrigerate eggs until firm, about 30 minutes.

Microwave semi sweet and white chocolates in separate bowls on HIGH 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until slightly melted. Stir until chocolates are completely melted.

Dip eggs into semi sweet chocolate. Refrigerate on wax paper lined tray until chocolate is firm, about 15 minutes. Drizzle with white chocolate. Store in refrigerator.

You can use any flavor of pudding mix.

I made this with vanilla pudding, 1/2 tsp orange extract and orange food coloring. It was really good.
