Have you even visited those posh chocolate shops that have the eggs decorated to perfection around Easter time. You probably admired them from afar, but maybe baulked at the price. You probably thought it was way too difficult to even attempt to make at home. But once you follow the video below you will find it really easy, and your friends will think you are a master chocolatier.
Your children will be very impressed, and you will have the perfect satisfaction of knowing that you produced those amazing chocolate eggs. They look so dainty and delicate, and everyone that sees them will be mesmerised by their beauty. They are bright and colourful, and the only problem will be keeping up with supply, as these beauties will be in high demand.Also, remember once you have made these there are other opportunities to make them even more individual. For example, you could fill them with chocolate treats, or maybe even candy of a contrasting colour. Or what about choosing the colours of your local football team, I would imagine that would be pretty popular. Whatever you decide you will love the final result, please give us some feedback in the comments as to how you got on.
EDIBLE LACE EASTER EGGS
Ingredients:
– Candy melts
– Egg molds
– Ziploc bag
– Scissors
– Additional candy (to fill the egg with)
Directions:
1. Fill your Ziploc bag (or piping bag) with the melted candy melts and cut a hole in the corner of the bag.
2. Squeeze out the candy melts inside your half egg mold, overlapping the lines but not enough so that it becomes a solid – you want to create a lace effect. Line the top of your egg mold with a line of candy.
3. Repeat on the other half of your egg mold.
4. Set them in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Gently remove the candy lace from it’s mold.
5. Fill the lace egg with whatever you would like, then line one half of the lace egg with melted candy to glue the two halves together.
