Ingredients

• Robin Eggs chocolate candies

Instructions

1. Make the Buttercream Frosting
   • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine softened butter, half of the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt.
   • Mix on low speed until well combined.
   • Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix on low until incorporated. If the frosting appears dry, add a small amount of water or milk.
   • Increase the speed to medium and whip for about one minute, or until the frosting is light and fluffy.

1. Pipe the Frosting Egg
   • Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
   • Print and place an Easter egg template under a piece of parchment paper.
   • Pipe stars around the outline of the egg, then fill in the center.
   • Carefully transfer the frosting egg to your serving board.

1. Decorate the Egg
   • Use M&M’s, Robin Eggs, or other candies to create a colorful Easter design on the frosting.
   • You can also experiment with different piping techniques, such as rosettes or swirls, to make your frosting egg even more intricate.
   • For extra color, consider tinting the frosting with pastel food coloring before piping.

1. Assemble the Buttercream Board
   • Arrange the dippers around the frosting egg, starting with larger items first.
   • Fill in gaps with smaller items like chocolate candies.
   • Consider placing some of the candy in small bowls to create a visually appealing spread.
   • For added texture and depth, stack cookies at different angles or layer pretzels in a crisscross pattern.
2. Serve & Enjoy!
   • Serve immediately or cover loosely with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
   • To enjoy, simply dip cookies and treats into the buttercream and savor the sweetness!

Storage Tips

• Buttercream – Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. It will firm up, so let it soften to room temperature before using again.
• Dipping Items – Keep in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
• Leftover Frosting? – If you have extra buttercream, spread it on graham crackers, cupcakes, or sugar cookies for an extra treat.
