My Grandmother has made these as long as I can remember. Was given the recipe when I got married. They are very good.

Time 1h50m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup Karo syrup
3 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 egg white
melted chocolate, to cover
1 cup peanut butter

Steps:

  • Bring sugar, water, and Karo syrup to a boil.
  • While that is heating, beat egg white until it is stiff and peaks.
  • Once syrup reaches a rolling boil, remove one cup and continue boiling the remaining syrup to 'Hard Crack' stage.
  • Beat the one cup into egg white slowly and steadily until it thickens.
  • Add Peanut Butter, mix thoroughly.
  • Once the remaining syrup reaches 'Hard Crack', remove from heat and beat slowly and steadily into the eggwhite/syrup/peanut butter mixture.
  • Cool until it is easily handled.
  • Form into the shape of an egg (kneading is necessary as it will get a crumbly texture as it cools). knead it until it is smooth and form in the shape of an egg.
  • Once cooled completely, cover with melted chocolate. Can be decorated with icing if desired.
  • Makes about 15 palm sized eggs. Great gifts for Teachers, bus drivers, co-workers, etc --.
