How to make chocolate eggs - Allrecipes.co.uk

With a little melted chocolate and a few egg moulds, it's easy to make your own chocolate eggs for Easter. This video shows you how!

We show you how to make a plain chocolate egg - using any sort of chocolate you choose - which you can put together hollow, or fill with anything from mini chocolate eggs to truffles to jelly beans.

We also show you how to make a marbled chocolate egg, which you can do with two or three different types of chocolate.

Tempering chocolate is also made easy using the method we demonstrate in the video - no endless stirring or scraping, and no marble slabs required!

You don't have to temper your chocolate, by the way, but if you do your egg will have a glossy, shiny finish for days to come (if it lasts that long!). If you don't temper the chocolate, it will 'bloom' after a day or two, which means it'll take on a matte, greyish finish - but it'll taste just as good!
