    Chocolate Surprise Eggs

    March 3, 2019 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    Chocolate surprise eggs, also known as Kinder eggs, have been a beloved treat around the world for years. These sweet treats are made of a chocolate shell that contains a small toy or prize inside. While Kinder eggs may not be readily available in all countries, you can make your own homemade version that is just as delicious and fun to open. And you can even make it dairy free!

    Making Chocolate Surprise Eggs

    This weekend was one of my first times getting away from the kids since my ex passed away. My goals was to make these eggs before I left, but I enjoyed getting away. I was able to have dinner with some of the board members, presenters and keynote speakers for the conference. It was amazing to hear all these women's stories and to meet another widow who recently lost her husband too. She's a year older than me and although she lost her husband in a very public way, I lost mine very differently. Mine became an ex and then left me a widow with three children. While her's played out in the news, mine had to be played out privately and agonizingly in a courtroom.

    But our lives are the same now. We are both trying to raise our children. It was fun to swap stories of how we are surviving. She's on month 4 and I'm on month 5. And we both have piles of dishes, toys strewn all over the floor, and bathrooms that need scrubbing and somehow we look put together while we were there even though we spent almost the whole night on our phones texting and calling our kids. (Her's because her 13 year old couldn't get the TV to work, and me because my 13 year old was debating staying at his cousins for the night or not).

    I also had the opportunity to have dinner with Kechi Okwuchi from American Idol.

    Prep Time 10 mins
    Cook Time 20 mins
    Course Dessert
    Servings 16 servings

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup milk or semi sweet chocolate chips
    • ¼ cup white chocolate chips optional
    • small toys or prizes to fit inside the eggs

    Instructions
     

    • Begin by melting the milk chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
    • Once the chocolate is melted, pour a small amount into one half of a plastic Easter egg mold, filling it about one-third of the way. Use a small pastry brush to spread the chocolate evenly around the inside of the mold, making sure to coat the sides completely. Repeat with the other half of the mold.
    • Once both halves of the mold are coated in chocolate, place them in the refrigerator to harden for about 10 minutes.While the chocolate is hardening, gather your small toys or prizes. Make sure they are clean and dry before placing them in the chocolate eggs.
    • After the chocolate has hardened, remove the mold from the refrigerator and place a small toy or prize in one half of the mold. Make sure to leave enough space around the toy so that you can pour more chocolate on top.
    • Once the toy is in place, reheat the chocolate if necessary and pour it over the toy, filling the mold about two-thirds of the way. Use a small pastry brush to spread the chocolate evenly around the toy, making sure to cover it completely. Repeat this process with the other half of the mold.
    • Once both halves are filled with chocolate and toys, place them back in the refrigerator to harden for about 15-20 minutes.While the chocolate is hardening, melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
    • Once the chocolate is hardened, remove the mold from the refrigerator and carefully remove the chocolate eggs from the mold by gently pressing on the sides of the mold. They should easily pop out.Using a small amount of the melted white chocolate, attach the two halves of the egg together. Be careful not to use too much white chocolate or it will be visible on the outside of the egg.
    • Once the eggs are sealed, use the remaining white chocolate to decorate the outside of the eggs as desired.Place the finished chocolate surprise eggs in the refrigerator to set and enjoy once the chocolate has hardened.

    Notes

    Note: You can substitute milk or semi sweet chocolate chips for the white chocolate chips if desired.
