Hi Dale,

hahahaha.. I've already devestated at least two big boxes of those guys, no
wonder they are on my mind (guilt?? Lol) Can't pass them by in the drug store!
Especially once you've seen how they are made on "How It's Made".  I can't
recall for sure where they said they were made, but I seem to recall it was
Pennsylvania?

Now that's funny.. Last week, not intentionally, I grabbed two in the pile in a
rush in the checkout line..  The first, I took one bite of the egg cream and
gave it to Ron ("Here, eat this" Lol..) I couldn't stand it.. it even LOOKed
gross (g).  I used to like it a lot when I was a kid :)  The caramel I ate a a
few days... but I doubt I'll buy another.. as you say, it was too much :(

That sounds interesting :)

The caramel I ate a
few days later and at least I could get it down ... but not as good as the
original that I remember but who knows :)

==Easter Egg Bread==
This is great breakfast treat on Easter morning.  The dyed raw eggs bake in the
oven so that sections can be broken off with a chunk of bread and egg combined.

9 raw eggs
Easter Egg coloring kit
4  cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package dry active yeast
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water

Dye the 9 raw eggs and set aside.  Don't cook them.

Mix sugar, salt,  and flour in a bowl.  In a small pot, scald the milk (heat to
almost boiling, 125º) and then add the butter.  When at room temperature, add
the yeast.  Let the yeast dissolve. Add the liquid ingredients to the flour
mixture and beat 2 minutes. Beat in the 2 eggs and grated lemon peel. Knead the
dough until smooth and soft.

Place the dough in a clean bowl and pour a little oil over it.  Turn the ball
of dough to coat. Cover with a dish towel and let it rise in warm place until
doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down the dough and knead for moment to redistribute the yeast.  Let the
dough rest for 5 minutes.

Cut the dough in three pieces and form each into a long rope, 25 inches long. 
Place the ropes on an oiled cookie sheet, and braid the ropes.  Join the ends
to form large circle and use your fingers to pinch the dough to seal it.  Place
the dyed raw eggs in the braided loaf, using sections of braid to hold each raw
egg securely. If the egg isn't in place securely, it will roll off as the bread
bakes.  Brush the dough with the egg mixed with water and let rise for about an
hour.  Bake at 350º for 25-30 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when you
tap on it and the loaf is golden brown.

Take care,
Janis
