Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Room temperature helps with texture and makes creaming easier.
  • 4 cups powdered sugar Sifted if you like a lighter finish and to avoid lumps.
  • 1/4 cup milk Whole milk gives a fuller mouthfeel, but use what you have.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a classic richness and gentle aroma.
  • Food coloring (optional) Use a few drops at a time to keep colors soft and familiar.
  • Chocolate for coating (optional) Choose a simple milk or dark chocolate you trust.
  • Sprinkles or decorations (optional) A small touch of color makes each piece feel special.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
  • Add the milk and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
  • If desired, divide the mixture into bowls and add food coloring to create different colors.
  • Shape the mixture into egg shapes or your desired form.
  • Place the shaped candies on a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm.
  • If using chocolate, melt it and dip the chilled candies into the chocolate, then let them set on parchment paper.
  • Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
  • Allow to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Store the candies in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to a week. If you live in a warm climate, refrigerate to keep the texture steady.
