You don't have to be a chocolatier to make delicious chocolate eggs at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch in just 30 minutes. Make them rich and dark, or fill them with peanut butter or coconut. They can also be made with or without a chocolate mold. Even your kids can help! Makes 20 little filled eggs.
Place a small bowl over a pot of simmering water and add 3 ounces of chocolate.
Allow the chocolate to melt.
With the simmering water still on the stove, place the bowl of chocolate on the counter and add the remaining 1 ounce of chocolate.
Stir until all of the chocolate has melted. Return the bowl to the pot of simmering water and stir again.
This process of heating and cooling and reheating chocolate is called tempering and helps to retain the shine on the chocolate once cooled.
Fill chocolate mold with the chocolate mixture (see instructions in filling recipes if adding filling).
Cool in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Store in a sealed container at cool room temperature.
Spread the chocolate in an egg-like shape on a parchment-lined baking pan.
Consider sprinkling your chocolate egg with coconut or finely chopped nuts! (This a great job for kids.)
Cool in the fridge for 10 minutes.
