A great way to use that last little bit of chocolate at the bottom of the bowl.
- Fill a mini chocolate mold with melted chocolate
- Top with sprinkles
- Add mini sugar eggs
A little project I stumbled on when I was messing about with leftover melted chocolate. I don't have progress picks to make a nice line up of photos but the process is pretty simple. A great way to use that last little bit of chocolate at the bottom of the bowl.

Turning ordinary Easter eggs into extraordinary Easter eggs with all the fun of creating and none of the hassle of knowing anything about chocolate. I don't know about you but I always come to a dilemma when Easter egg shopping. Do I buy the super cheap foil wrapped choccy eggs, or the pretty eggs in the colourful boxes? Sure, the boxed eggs are triple the price, but they have personality. I can find one to match each of the different personas of my Easter giftees. An individual egg for an individual person. I didn't just walk into the store scoop my arm through a bin of eggs, dust my hands of the place, thats that, job done. Nice. I walked in and thought about my purchases. Picked out an egg based on taste rather than just chocolate. But. It's like triple the price. An eggs an egg, right? When the boxes are dicarded the unassuming foil wrapped eggs can go toe to toe (shell to shell?) with those in the box. They're probably all made in the place anyway. Logic says goes with the cheap guys but it's hard to argue with consumerism. Last year I stumbled upon the solution. Decorating cheap store bought eggs (low hassle. low cost) with edible treats like marshmallows and sprinkles. This lets me be creative on a budget with relatively little hassle. I can create personalised Easter treats for half the price of those expensive Easter eggs. Plus the results always look impressive. It's hard to mess up chocolate. This is a craft for people who are either on a budget or have a relationship with melted chocolate that can only be called 'it's complicated' You don't have to know anything about tempering chocolate or chocolate molding to make these tasty holiday treats because we're using store bought eggs! The hard part is done all thats left to do is pretty things up. I made similar eggs last year when I made geode inspired eggs. Check out the posts HERE (ginger geode) and HERE (marshmallow geode) This year I'm making M&M filled, sprinkle dipped easter eggs. Mostly because I recently found caramel M&M's and want to share them with everyone. You Will Need
Cut the top off a cheap store bought chocolate egg. A hot knife works well. Don't add too much preasure or else you'll break the egg. I learnt that the hard way. Fill with M&M's and sugar coated mini Easter eggs. Glue the top back on with a little melted chocolate and leave to set (Just a couple of minutes) Then cover the top in more melted chocolate. Create stylish chocolate drips for exra effect. Quickly roll in sprinkles before the chocolate sets. I like those longer confetti-like hundreds and thousands. My egg had a couple of holes, not part of the original design, but easily fixed. After all what goes better with chocolate than chocolate? Cover up any mistakes by dipping extra M&M's and eggs in melted chocolate and gluing on to the wounded area. A sugar coated crown of caramel chocolate goodness. Who needs a flower crown when you can have a chocolate crown.
