Our youth group made these as a fundraiser when I was in the group.... AGES ago! We used to make these the weekend before Holy week. We'd have a lock-in, mix cool, and dip in 24 hours. I'd have the smell of powdered sugar in my nose for days! Read more I remember rooms filled with tables loaded with trays of football or potato or topedo shaped candy eggs waiting to be dipped in chocolate and adorned with the appropriate color coded candy flower.... Ah the memories! My brother's youth group made the eggs the size of Jumbo eggs and sold them three flavors to an egg box of a dozen! See less
