Chocolate Easter Egg
I always wanted to know how chocolate Easter eggs were made. I've been eating them all my life at Easter time and had no idea how easy it was to make them! Just mind blowing for me.
Easter eggs are given to celebrate Easter and springtime. The oldest traditions is to use dyed and painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as jelly beans.
Eggs, in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth.
INGREDIENTS
600g chocolate (max 70% cocoa)
