Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Shell

  • 2 cups high-quality milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Optional Filling

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Decoration

  • 2 tablespoons colorful sprinkles or crushed candies (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Melt over a pot of simmering water or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  2. Prepare the Filling: If using, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly firm to create a creamy filling.
  3. Form Chocolate Shells: Spoon melted chocolate into silicone egg molds, coating the sides thoroughly with the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes to set the shells.
  4. Add Filling: Place a small amount of filling into the center of each chocolate shell, sparing space around the edges for sealing with more chocolate.
  5. Seal and Decorate: Cover filling with additional melted chocolate, smooth the top, tap molds to remove air bubbles, and sprinkle decorations if desired.
  6. Final Chill: Refrigerate again for 20 to 30 minutes or until fully firm.
  7. Remove and Store: Carefully pop the eggs from molds and keep them refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free chocolate to make this recipe vegan.
  • Silicone molds make egg removal easy and clean.
  • Store the finished chocolate eggs in a cool place to prevent melting.
  • Get creative with fillings like caramel, marshmallow cream, or cookie butter for variety.
