Jessica As a child, my favorite Easter treat was a slice of one of my grandmother’s chocolate and butter cream Easter eggs. Years after she passed away, I asked my parents for the recipe and I was so glad that they were able to find it! It has become an annual favorite for my family as well. Today I had fun sharing it with Naomi and Oliver for the first time. I hope you’ll try it too!
You’ll Need:
- 1 lb. of Confectioner’s Sugar
- 1/4 lb. of Softened Butter (1 Stick)
- 2 Tbsp. of Milk
- 1 tsp. of Vanilla
- 8 oz. of Baker’s Unsweetened Chocolate
- 8 oz. of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, alternate adding milk and sugar to softened butter. Add Vanilla. Mix until it can be molded into eggs.
- Put the shaped eggs into the refrigerator to cool.
- Melt all of the chocolates in a double boiler and spoon over the chilled eggs.
- Spoon the chocolate over the top of the eggs and then chill again.
- Spoon the chocolate over the bottom and chill again.
As you can see, Naomi enjoyed licking the chocolate-covered spoon.
We usually leave our eggs as is, but you can get more creative with colored sprinkles or icing decorations. Enjoy!
What special Easter foods does your family enjoy?

These look really good. I have made butter cream chocolates in a variety of flavors (mint, rasberry, and almond are all really good) in addition to the more traditional vanilla flavor. The recipe I use is basically the same and I usually make them at Christmas time. I dip them all the way into melted chocolate and put them on a cookie sheet to cool though. I think it is really cool that this was your grandma’s recipe, because I learned how to make them from my grandma as well.
I haven’t made them in egg shapes before, maybe I’ll have to try that sometime.
This year I made chocolate peanut butter eggs for a treat for my kids at Easter.

The other flavors you mentioned sound delicious! That’s so cool that you got your recipe from your Grandma too! Maybe it was a popular recipe when they were young.
I never thought to make them for other holidays, though they sound great for Christmas too!
Oh wow… bringing back childhood memories with these. I am DEFINITELY going to make this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
I’m making them a tradition for us too! Sooooo good!
Thanks for reminding me! I’d completely forgotten about them this year with everything else going on!
