fudgy truffle eggs

if you want a VERY SWEET treat.. make these.
it's good to make if you're planning to take it somewhere to share or giving it away, it's a large recipe for a few people to eat... you may get sick from all the sugar if you eat them yourself!!!

ingredients:
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 tub chocolate frosting
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter or marshmallow creme
24 oz chocolate flavored candy coating

in a large microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips uncovered on high 1 minute, stir until melted. if necessary, microwave 10 to 20 seconds longer or until chocolate can be stirred smooth.
microwave frosting uncovered on high 20 seconds; stir into melted chocolate chips. stir in vanilla. cover; refrigerate 30 minutes or just until thick enough to hold a shape.
drop chocolate mixture by level tablespoons onto waxed paper lined cookie sheets. flatten each tablespoon of chocolate mixture. spoon about 1/4 tsp marshmallow or peanut butter in centre. fold chocolate mixture over filling; shape into egg shapes. (if mixture is too sticky, refrigerate until firm enough to shape) freeze 30 minutes.
in a large bowl, microwave candy coating uncovered on high 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring until smooth. dip eggs, one at a time, in candy coating using fork to hold them. return to cookie sheets. refrigerate eggs about 10 minutes or until coating is set. decorate as desired.
