Make Your Own Easter Eggs

Hmmm Chocolate. Need I say anything more? Easter. It’s all about the chocolate ha! ha!

Making your own Easter eggs and chocolate treats is much easier than you’d imagine. It’s also a great activity for the kids to get involved in during the Easter hols.

You don’t need any fancy equipment just a few ingredients, a pan, bowl and water, 20 mins or so, a few hours in the freezer chilling and boom chocolate heaven!

Naturally refined sugar, dairy and gluten free.

To make these eggs I used my chocolate recipe here. As with my chocolate recipe you can pimp these up any additional fruit or ingredient you like. I used these egg moulds but there are a wide range and variety out there and this recipe will work with most. Happy Easter and enjoy your chocolate making and eating!
