Ingredients
To make this delicious Easter treat, you will need: 3 tablespoons of butter, 4-5 tablespoons of water, 2-3 tablespoons of corn syrup, 2-3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 2-3 cups of mini marshmallows, 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a pinch of sprinkles.
Instructions
Begin by melting the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the water, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the ingredients are well combined. Add the marshmallows and stir until they are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan. Allow the mixture to cool and set for about 30 minutes. Once set, use a spoon or ice cream scoop to scoop out the marshmallow mixture and form into 1-2 inch egg shapes. Place the eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool completely.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, dip each egg into the melted chocolate and place them onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with a pinch of sprinkles, if desired. Allow the chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to make more eggs. If you want to make the eggs in different shapes or sizes, simply adjust the size of the eggs when scooping them out. You can also use different types of chocolate chips or add a few extra ingredients to the mix such as nuts or dried fruit. The possibilities are endless!
