Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the butter, vanilla, and cream cheese. Stir in confectioners' sugar to make a workable dough. For best results, use your hands for mixing.
- Divide the dough into four parts. Leave one of the parts plain. To the second part, mix in peanut butter. Mix coconut into the third part, and cocoa powder into the last part. Roll each type of dough into egg shapes, and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate until hard, at least an hour.
- Melt chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick for coating, stir in a teaspoon of the shortening or oil until it thins to your desired consistency. Dip the chilled candy eggs in chocolate, and return to the waxed paper lined sheet to set. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour to harden.

Steps:
- Coconut Cream Easter Eggs: Cream butter, vanilla and salt. Blend in the milk until smooth. Add sugar, mix well. Add the coconut and blend in. Shape into small egg form and place on waxed paper covered cookie sheets. Chill overnight. Dip in chocolate coating. Store in refrigerator. Can also decorate as desired with white chocolate or frosting. Chocolate Coating: Melt together in the top of a double boiler. Cool slightly. Dip eggs using a fork, allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing back onto the cookie sheet. Chocolate disks may be used instead of the baking chocolate. cook's notes From the rec.food.recipes Moderator: Some older candy recipes for dipped chocolate call for paraffin to be melted with the chocolate. This raises the melting point of the chocolate and makes the final chocolate coating more firm. Although many people (including this moderator) have eaten these candies for years without any negative effects, the US Food and Drug Administration has not approved of paraffin as a food additive, and has recommended it not be used for human consumption. Paraffin is a waxy by-product of petroleum extraction. It may irritate the skin and intestinal tract lining. Like mineral oil, it cannot be absorbed by the intestines, and it has the potential for causing diarrhea, or, if consumed in excess, intestinal blockage. To obtain the desired texture provided by paraffin wax, look for chocolate with added cocoa butter marketed especially for dipping candies. This chocolate does not require the addition of paraffin wax to get a nice sheen and texture. Another product called Bakers Wax, available from confectionary stores, is a good substitute for paraffin.

CAROL'S COCONUT CREAM EASTER EGGS
I don't remember where I got the original recipe, but over the years I've "tweaked" it a few times and now it is just the way I like it. These eggs are very sweet, so don't eat too many! They can be covered with dark, milk, white or semisweet chocolate. My family prefers the semisweet. This recipe makes quite a few eggs, but they can be frozen. I usually add about 1 Tbl. of shortening to each 12 oz. bags of chips when melting. It tends to loosen it up a bit. I like to keep these refrigerated because I love them very cold. Serving size and cook time is approx. Enjoy!

- Beat cream cheese and butter in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low; add coconut, vanilla, and salt, beating until incorporated. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until incorporated. Turn coconut mixture out onto a sheet of parchment paper. Shape into a 1-inch-thick 7- x 6-inch rectangle. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

- Place half the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Remove from heat once melted, and stir in remaining chocolate, in batches, until melted. (Place pan back over simmering water to melt the chocolate, if needed.) Stir until a candy thermometer reaches 89°F. Dip coconut cream eggs into melted chocolate. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and let stand until chocolate is firm, about 10 minutes.
