Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark chocolate
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 50 grams White chocolate
- 200 grams Mini candy (e.g., jelly beans or mini chocolate eggs)
- 20 grams Edible glitter or sprinkles
- 10 milliliters Edible gold paint (optional)
- 5 milliliters Vegetable oil (for shine)
Instructions
1. Begin by melting the dark chocolate and milk chocolate separately in heatproof bowls over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted.
2. Stir 2-3 drops of vegetable oil into the melted chocolate to give it a glossy finish and make it easier to work with.
3. Using a clean, dry silicon Easter egg mold, pour the melted dark chocolate into half of the cavities and swirl to coat the interior evenly. Repeat with milk chocolate for the remaining cavities. Use the back of a spoon or a brush if needed to cover the surface. Place the molds in the refrigerator to set for 10-15 minutes.
4. Once the chocolate shells have hardened, carefully remove them from the molds. Handle them gently to avoid cracking.
5. Add a small handful of mini candy and edible decorations (like sprinkles or glitter) inside half of the chocolate shells.
6. Warm a clean, flat plate by placing it over a pot of boiling water for a minute. Gently press an empty chocolate shell half onto the warm plate for 1-2 seconds to slightly melt the rim, then immediately press it against a filled shell half to seal. Repeat with the remaining pairs to create complete eggs.
7. If desired, decorate the sealed eggs by drizzling melted white chocolate across the surface or painting with edible gold paint for a luxurious look. Add sprinkles or glitter for extra flair.
8. Allow the eggs to set fully at room temperature or in the refrigerator for another 10 minutes before serving.
9. Present them as a festive Easter treat, and encourage guests to crack them open to reveal the surprise inside!
