Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 175g milk chocolate, broken into pieces, plus extra for decorating
  • 50g Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 x 50g bags chocolate mini eggs
  • 2 white chocolate buttons
  • 50g golden marzipan
  • 25g white chocolate, broken into pieces, plus extra for decorating, melted and cooled a little

Equipment Needed

  • 2 chocolate egg moulds
  • Piping bag
  • Rolling pin
  • Flat pastry brush or small paintbrush
  • Knife
  • Heatproof bowl
  • Pan for simmering water

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Break the milk chocolate into pieces and gently melt it in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir until smooth and remove from heat.
  2. Mix in Rice Krispies: Stir the Rice Krispies into the melted chocolate, mixing well to coat the cereal completely, creating a crispy chocolate mixture.
  3. Form Chocolate Egg Shells: Spoon half of the mixture into one chocolate egg mould. Use the back of a spoon to press it into a thick, even layer covering all the inside surfaces to create a solid shell with thick edges. Repeat with the second mould. Leave the moulds in a cool place to set, then refrigerate them for 5 minutes to firm up the chocolate without causing condensation.
  4. Unmould the Egg Halves: Carefully remove the chocolate shells from the moulds once set. Be gentle to avoid breaking.
  5. Assemble the Egg: Fill one half of the egg with some chocolate mini eggs. Join both halves by using melted chocolate as glue. Patch any holes or gaps with extra Rice Krispies mixed with melted chocolate to ensure a neat finish. Leave in a cool place to set firmly.
  6. Create the Chick’s Eyes: Paint blobs of melted milk chocolate onto each white chocolate button to form the pupils. Attach these buttons to the egg by applying a little melted chocolate as adhesive. Let this set.
  7. Pipe the Beak and Wings: Place the melted white chocolate into a piping bag and carefully pipe a small beak and wings onto the chocolate chick. Allow the design to set completely.
  8. Make the Feet: Roll out the golden marzipan on a sheet of greaseproof paper to about ½ cm thickness. Cut out two feet large enough to support the chocolate egg chick using a knife.
  9. Final Assembly: Once the egg is fully set, place it upright on the marzipan feet, gently pressing to stabilize. Scatter additional mini eggs around the chick to create a festive nest for presentation.

Notes

  • When melting chocolate, ensure the bowl doesn’t touch the simmering water to avoid burning.
  • Limit refrigeration time to 5 minutes to prevent condensation, which can cause chocolate to discolour.
  • Chocolate bloom is harmless and may appear a few days after making the egg due to fat and sugar changes.
  • Use a piping bag with a small nozzle for precise white chocolate details.
  • Make sure the chocolate is fully set before assembling pieces to avoid breakage.
