2. Chocolate
Chocolate is the star ingredient of this recipe, so it's important to choose a high-quality option. You can use any type of chocolate you prefer, whether it's milk, dark, or white. You can also get creative and mix different types of chocolate for a marbled effect.
3. Double Boiler or Microwave
To melt the chocolate, you will need a double boiler or a microwave. If using a double boiler, make sure to use a heatproof bowl and keep a close eye on the chocolate to avoid burning it. If using a microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
4. Spatula or Spoon
You will need a spatula or spoon to fill the molds with melted chocolate. Make sure to use a clean and dry utensil to avoid any unwanted flavors or textures in your chocolate eggs.

This is where you can get creative and add your own personal touch to the Easter egg molds. Some popular options include sprinkles, nuts, dried fruits, or even edible glitter. Make sure to have your chosen toppings ready before you start melting the chocolate.
Instructions
1. Melt the Chocolate
Start by melting your chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. If using a double boiler, make sure to stir constantly until fully melted. If using a microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
2. Fill the Molds
Using a spatula or spoon, fill each mold with melted chocolate. Make sure to coat the sides and bottom evenly, leaving a hollow center to fill with toppings.
3. Add Toppings
Once the molds are filled with chocolate, add your chosen toppings to the center. You can either sprinkle them on top or mix them into the chocolate for a marbled effect.
4. Chill and Unmold
Place the molds in the fridge for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Once fully chilled, gently unmold the chocolate eggs by pressing on the back of the mold.
