Add marshmallow creme and beat until almost firm. Add melted shortening, powdered sugar, candied fruit, and nuts. Mix well. Divide mixture into 10 equal sized pieces. With your hands, mold each piece into an egg shape. Dip eggs in melted dipping chocolate. Allow to harden on cooling racks or waxed paper.
