Coconut Eggs

To see pictures go Here.

Filling:
* 1-- 8oz package cream cheese
* 2 sticks melted butter
* 1-- 16oz package coconut
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 5 1/2 cups powdered sugar

For chocolate coating:
* 1 lb chocolate
* 2 tablespoons oil

1. Blend the filling ingredients together in a mixer and then put it in the fridge to get firm again (freezer if you are in a bigger hurry). When it is firm enough to work with, shape it into eggs or truffles and then dip in melted chocolate (I suggest dark chocolate to even out the sweetness). Put back in the fridge until they dry/harden and enjoy!

2. To melt/temper the chocolate: I put the chocolate in my sauce pan on low (maybe a 2-3 out of 10 if your range has numbers). Add the oil and stir occasionally to keep it melting evenly.
