How to make your own Easter Eggs? A lot of fun but too messy perhaps?

Hello all, with Easter looming just around the corner, it brings the promise of lots of delicious chocolate and candy to munch on and enjoy! Usually everyone gets at least one chocolate Easter egg at Easter time right? Well I think everyone should get at least one no matter who or where you are. Well most people anyway lol

Anyway, also it seems, every Easter, the giant supermarket stores and retail chains compete against each other to offer more chocolate Easter eggs for less and less money. The other day Tesco were advertising any of their collect of chocolate Easter eggs for £1. Then a few days later, Asda offer any 3 for £1. Slightly undercutting Tesco! And while those deals are good for the consumer (me and you) as it means we can get more Easter eggs for people with less money today then we ever used to be able to before. It also could mean that the quality of some of these eggs suffers too.

And they aren't bad though, but usually with these low priced Easter eggs, all you get is the egg itself! That's it! No chocolate bar, no mug, nothing inside the egg itself. And that really sucks since Easter is a much about surprise as Christmas Day itself is too. And since Easter is also a time of family, and a great time for doing arts & crafts and cooking lovely, delicious, fun Easter food with, I thought, and wondered, could I make my own Easter eggs?

As it turns out, you can, and it's really not that hard either (apparently). You'll need the right tools and ingredients of course. But you can find tons of great DIY Easter egg recipes and ideas out there. And as always, I use Pinterest for that! I use Pinterest for just about anything food related and one of the great things about it is you can find many, many great DIY chocolate Easter egg recipes and guides on there.

Hollow Chocolate Easter Eggs

I love the look of these hollow Easter eggs that have smaller eggs inside them. The great thing about these is that they're made from chocolate and a small water balloon lol. You just melt the chocolate and drip it over the balloon in stages so that it dries quick. The tricky part is getting the balloon out after without making it EXPLODE! These are also called "String Easter Eggs". There's an easier recipe to follow here https://pinterest.com/pin/551550285595930639/
