Last week I shared a delicious carrot cake hot cross buns recipe, and this week I have another wonderfully simple Easter recipe.
Easter eggs are the ultimate Easter food and this recipe is a really easy way to make your own at home. All you need is some chocolate and some easter egg moulds.
Get your little ones involved and make an activit
y out of it. For older kids, you can also add a toy into the middle for a little extra fun!If you’re wondering about giving chocolate to little ones, check out my blog on chocolate for babies and toddlers. I also shared more about offering chocolate at Easter to young children on my Instagram.
I hope you enjoy making this recipe with your little ones this Easter!
Method
- Chop chocolate into small pieces
- Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl above a small pan half full of boiling water
- Pour into Easter egg moulds
- Tilt the mould so the chocolate covers the surface
- Place in the fridge until set
- Repeat the process a few times until the chocolate layer is about 1/2cm thick
- Optional: add a toy for older children (be careful with younger children and ensure they are supervised)
- Brush melted chocolate around the rim before sticking it together
- Leave to set again
- Enjoy!
Some additional notes on this recipe:
- You can use any kind of chocolate you like, including vegan chocolate if you want to make it dairy free!
- Mix up the sizes by using different sized moulds – there are plenty available to have some fun with
- Any messy edges can be melted flat by holding them against a heated frying pan: heat up a frying pan and gently place the egg (rim side down) on the heat for a few seconds which will smooth it out. This melts the edge and allows you to stick the two egg halves together.
