Make Your Own Egg-stra Special Chocolate Eggs

Store-bought egg-shaped chocolate sculptures have long been the gift of choice for Easter. Now, with this finger-licking fun craft, your family can make your own personalized chocolate eggs for holiday giving.


Similar to papier-mâché projects using paste and newspaper strips over a mold, these eggs are constructed using melted chocolate spread over a small balloon. When the chocolate is set, the balloon is removed to leave a perfect hollow chocolate egg ready to be custom decorated to your liking!
