Mom Tips

The second option’s candy is excellent for filling Easter eggs. In this case, press the candy into the egg shell, using the back of a spoon.

If you prefer, you can replace the noble chocolate in the chocolates with fractionated milk chocolate.

Easter egg shells must be made with noble chocolate.

Before packing chocolates or Easter eggs; wait 8 hours minimum.
