Chocolate
Eggs
 Using
package directions for making molded chocolates, but use a clean blown eggshell as
a mold! If you are working with
chicken eggs, use an egg carton to hold the eggs steady and make it easier for
you to move from one to the next. Cut
the hole in one end large enough for you to either pour directly into or to
position a funnel over. Fill the
eggs with chocolate and let them set.
If you are working with goose,
rhea or emu eggs, you can half fill the egg and then move the egg around to coat
the inside of the shell with chocolate, making a hollow egg.
After
your eggs have cooled, gently peel the eggshell from the egg.
If the egg cracks or breaks during this process, it can be “glued”
back together again with a thin spread of melted chocolate.
Wrap your eggs in thin aluminum foil (shinny side out) or cellophane.
A
fun alternative with the larger chocolate eggs is to carefully cut the egg in
half (use a clean hot knife), put a small toy or other surprise in the egg and
reseal it with chocolate.
Suggestions:
