Easter Eggs :D

Pheebs · 13-04-2009, 18:21

Some people saw on my Facebook a status of me making Easter Eggs and wanted to see the final result!

All I can say is... they're made with love and it's the thought that counts

Heheheh!

We bought a cheap Easter Egg Making Kit a couple of years back from Sainsburys. It's a really poop plastic mould which you need to fill with Chocky (two sides... you pop them out and then stick em together with choccy when done

)! Simple to do, takes forever to make one though as you need to build up a few layers, letting them set at each stage! Also discovered using dark choccy on the outside makes the eggs shiny whereas milk choccy tends to go a bit funny!

They always end up about an inch and a half thick!

With these ones I layered them: Dark Choc, Rice Crispies and Milk Choc, More Milk Choc, More Rice Crispies and then White Choc

May try and put a layer of caramel in next time as well!

My decorating skills aren't particularly wonderful buuut it's just the way I R

Oooh they look brilliant!

Wow, looks like a good effort to me!

I just bought some chocolate instead

Damn I wish i'd taken a picture now of the egg Marchant got me.
He managed to make it himself, and inside it had a note on a piece of paper he had somehow got in there which told me he loved me.
Oh and three pieces of fudge which had become stuck to the inside of the egg.

Im still trying to scrape some of it out of the mould now!

Leon gave me 2 Green & Blacks dark chocolate eggs - they were on BOGOF
