Hi Linda,
I did what would normally be a very thorough search, and I could not find a
coconut egg recipe that contained molasses. Below are some coconut egg
recipes that I did find.

Title: Coconut Cream Eggs
Categories: Chocolate, Candies
Yield: 1 servings
6 tb Butter; melted
1/3 c Light corn syrup
2 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 ts Salt
1 lb Powdered sugar
3 1/4 c Mounds sweetened coconut
-flakes
=(10-oz. pkg.)
Additional powdered sugar
Simple chocolate coating
= (recipe follows)
Recipe by: www.hersheys.com
1. In large bowl, stir together butter, corn syrup, vanilla
and salt. Gradually add powdered sugar and coconut, beating
until blended.
2. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon additional powdered sugar on
flat surface. Spoon coconut mixture onto prepared surface;
knead about 5 minutes. Using 1-1/2 teaspoons mixture for
each candy, shape into egg shape. Place on wax
paper-covered tray.
3. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours before dipping into Simple
Chocolate Coating. Place coated eggs on wax paper-covered
tray. Store in cool, dry place. About 40 candies.
Simple Chocolate Coating
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
or Hershey's Mini Chips Semi-Sweet Chocolate2 tablespoons
plus 2 teaspoons shortening (do not use butter, margarine
or oil)
(1) In medium heat-proof bowl, place chocolate
chips and shortening. In separate large heat-proof bowl,
put very warm water (100 F. to 110 F.) to 1-inch depth.
Carefully place bowl with chocolate into bowl with water;
water should come halfway up side of chocolate bowl.
(2) With dry rubber scraper, stir chocolate and shortening
constantly, until chocolate and shortening are melted and
mixture is smooth. Do NOT get water in bowl with
chocolate.* If water cools, replace it with very warm water
as directed above. Remove chocolate bowl from inside water
bowl.
(3) With fork, one at a time, dip chilled centers into
chocolate mixture; gently tap fork on edge of bowl to
remove excess chocolate.** Invert coated center on prepared
tray; swirl small amount of melted chocolate on top to
cover fork marks; let stand until firm. Store candies
loosely covered in cool, dry place. Coating for 3 to 4
dozen centers.
* If water or moisture gets into chocolate, it can seize
and tighten. As an emergency measure, ONLY, stir in
additional shortening, 1/2 teaspoonful at a time, just
until chocolate is fluid again.
** If chocolate mixture cools below 84 F, return bowl with
chocolate into bowl with warm water. Chocolate is best for
coating between 84 F. and 88 F. JMHershey's is a registered

I need a recipe for orange slice candy. The kind you see, made with real
oranges that you dip in chocolate.
Hi Dana,
Let's see . Perhaps what you are asking for is a recipe for making
"candied orange slices"? You see, in the cooking parlance that I have
always known, "Orange Slice Candy" and "Candied Orange Slices" are not
the same thing. "Orange Slice Candy" is candy that's made to look like
orange slices, while "Candied Orange Slices" are real orange slices that
are candied with sugar.
Phaed
Here's a recipe for making candied orange slices:
Candied Orange Slices
Ingredients
a.. 2 large, thin skinned oranges
b.. 1 cup sugar
c.. 3/4 cup water
Method of Preparation
Wash and dry oranges and slice as thinly as you can, about 1/16th of an
inch thick. Use a mandoline if you have one or a very sharp knife. In a
medium pot, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar
dissolves. Remove from heat and cool ten minutes. Add oranges to pot.
Cover and let stand 2 hours. Preheat oven to 225°. Line two baking sheets
with parchment paper. Arrange orange slices on baking sheet and press flat.
Bake two hours or until golden. Cool completely. Store in an air tight
container in single layers or between layers of parchment.
Then, Dana, to coat them with chocolate, just use the second recipe that I
sent you before:
Chocolate Orange Slices
Ingredients :
candied orange slices
1/3 bar paraffin
1 (6 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate
chips
Preparation :
Melt chocolate chips and paraffin in double boiler. Keep hot,
cut orange slices in half. Using a toothpick, dip slices in hot
chocolate. Cool on wax paper.
