I picked up some Easter egg cookie cutters on a whim last month. I was at Michael’s (probably no big surprise!) and went a little crazy shopping their Easter displays. I bought a whole bunch of stuff since I had one of their awesome coupons and couldn’t resist the cute cookie cutters. I was thinking of making cookies, but changed my mind last minute and made Easter Egg Hand Pies. They were a hit with my daughters and their friends!
I used one 9 inch refrigerated pie crust dough (my fave is Pillsbury!), milk chocolate chips, vegetable oil and sprinkles galore.

Inside each Easter egg is melted milked chocolate chips. For the exterior, I melted milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil in the microwave and brushed the mixture on one side of my egg. Immediately, add your sprinkles on top. The chocolate acts like a glue to hold the sprinkles in place.
You could also use Smarties (the Canadian kind!), Skittles, M&M’s or whatever small candies you like.
This is also a fun dessert for the kids to make with your supervision. They can paint their chocolate eggs and decorate them how they like.
