1/4 cup sugar
Filling
1 3/4 cups milk chocolate chips

4 large Land O Lakes® Eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
Topping
1 1/2 cups sour cream
2 tablespoons sugar

STEP 3
Melt chocolate chips in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, 5-6 minutes or until melted. Cool 15 minutes.
