Chocolate Easter Eggs



Ingredients


Chocolate (No specific amount just quite a lot)
Water (200ml approx.)

Equipment


Easter Egg Mould
Pastry Brush
Saucepan
Bowl (To fit over the saucepan)
Foil (Depends on how big the egg is going to be)

Method


Step 1


Get a saucepan, and fill it with a 200ml of water. Put a bowl over the saucepan. Put it on a low heat and melt the chocolate.



Step 2

When it has melted and is an oozing liquid...



Brush the melted chocolate onto the mould and make it quite thick. 

Step 3

Then, put the mould in the fridge to cool off that layer. Repeat this process until you get the desired thickness. Put it in the fridge and leave it there overnight.

Step 4

In the morning take the mould out and gently, without pushing too hard, ease out the now strong chocolate. It should now look like this, or something like it:




Step 5


You now have 2 halves. So, now you must melt some more chocolate and then you brush the chocolate onto the edges of the halves. Stick it together, and then put it in the fridge. Before you do that you can fill it with whatever you like.



Wait 2 hours or more and your chocolate will be strong. Cut off the uneven bits with a knife, then wrap in foil.

This Easy Recipe is a great present for someone, or even just a pleasurable thing for you.

ENJOY!
