Creating the Perfect Hard Shell
To start off, the key to making these hard shell marshmallow easter eggs is the shell itself. The outer layer needs to be firm enough to hold the marshmallow filling, but also have a satisfying crunch when you take a bite. To achieve this, we'll be using a combination of candy melts and coconut oil. The candy melts provide the sweetness and color, while the coconut oil helps to create a smooth and glossy texture.
Using Candy Melts
Candy melts are perfect for creating a hard shell because they are easy to work with and come in a variety of colors. Simply melt the candy melts in the microwave or using a double boiler, and then mix in a small amount of coconut oil to create a smooth consistency. The coconut oil also helps to thin out the candy melts, making it easier to coat the eggs evenly.
Adding a Touch of Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is not only a great addition for creating a smooth texture, but it also adds a hint of coconut flavor to the shell. This subtle flavor pairs well with the sweetness of the candy melts and gives the eggs a unique taste. Plus, coconut oil is a healthier alternative to using butter or other oils commonly used in candy making.
Filling the Eggs with Marshmallow
Now that we have our perfect hard shell, it's time to fill the eggs with marshmallow. You can use store-bought marshmallows or make your own using gelatin, sugar, and water. Once the marshmallow mixture is ready, pour it into each half of the egg mold and press the halves together to create a whole egg. Let the eggs set in the fridge for a few hours until the marshmallow is firm.
Adding a Little Extra Flair
To make your hard shell marshmallow easter eggs even more special, you can add sprinkles or other decorations to the candy melt coating before it sets. This adds a pop of color and texture to the eggs, making them even more visually appealing.
Now that you have all the tips and tricks for creating the perfect hard shell marshmallow easter egg, it's time to get creative and make some delicious treats. This recipe is sure to be a hit at any Easter celebration and can even be adapted for other holidays or occasions. So have fun with it and enjoy the sweet and crunchy goodness of these festive eggs!
