1 container (16 oz) Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter or marshmallow creme
1 package (24 oz) vanilla-flavored (almond bark) or chocolate-flavored candy coating

2.) Microwave frosting uncovered on High 20 seconds; stir into melted chocolate chips. Stir in vanilla. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes or just until thick enough to hold a shape.
3.) Drop chocolate mixture by level tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper lined cookie sheets. Flatten each tablespoon of chocolate mixture. Spoon about 1/4 teaspoon marshmallow or creamy peanut butter in center. Fold chocolate mixture over filling; shape into egg shapes. (If mixture is too sticky, refrigerate until firm enough to shape.)
