Equipment
- silicone or plastic molds
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. You can also substitute dairy free chocolate chips.
Store eggs for up to one week.
