1/3 cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of powdered sugar
Food coloring of your choice
Easter candy decorations
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Start by melting the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 2: Add Butter and Cream
Once the chocolate is melted, remove the bowl from the heat and add in the butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and you have a smooth and shiny mixture.
Step 3: Add Powdered Sugar
Next, add in the powdered sugar and stir until it is fully incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
Step 4: Color the Chocolate
Now comes the fun part – adding color to your easter eggs! Divide the chocolate mixture into smaller bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each, creating different shades of pastel colors.
Step 5: Create the Eggs
Using a spoon, pour the colored chocolate into egg-shaped molds, filling them about 3/4 of the way. Use a toothpick to swirl the colors together for a marbled effect. Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set.
Step 6: Decorate and Enjoy!
Once the chocolate has set, remove the easter eggs from the molds and decorate them with your favorite Easter candy decorations. Let them set in the refrigerator for another 10 minutes before serving.
