CANDY-FILLED CHOCOLATE EASTER EGG



Candy-Filled Chocolate Easter Egg image

Piñatas aren't just for birthdays. This Easter-inspired treat breaks open with a whack and will have everyone diving for the candy that pours out.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

One 9-by-1-inch confetti cake round
1 pound milk chocolate, finely chopped
2 cups assorted colorful candies, such as Cadbury Mini Eggs®, Neapolitan M & M's®, Starburst Minis and Beans® and Lindt Mini Eggs®, plus more for decorating

Steps:

  • Using a 2-pound plastic Easter egg chocolate candy mold as a guide, cut the cake to fit inside the base of the mold; set aside (discard the extra cake). Refrigerate the mold to chill, about 15 minutes.
  • Put half the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining chocolate and continue to stir until smooth; this will result in a tempered chocolate that will set hard. Transfer 3/4 cup of the chocolate to a small bowl; set aside.
  • Swirl half the remaining chocolate inside the mold to coat completely. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Repeat with the other half of the chocolate, swirling to create a thick layer; refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Fill the egg with the candy. Top with the cake cutout and press down firmly so the cake is flush with the mold (trim away any extra cake with a serrated knife).
  • Microwave the reserved chocolate to remelt if needed, then measure out 1/2 cup. Spread the chocolate over the cake with a spatula to cover completely. Refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes.
  • Invert the egg onto a serving platter or cake stand; remove the mold. Microwave the remaining chocolate to remelt if needed, then transfer to a piping bag with a small round tip. Use the chocolate to attach candies to the outside of the egg. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Serve the egg with a big spoon or meat mallet and encourage guests to crack it open and watch the candy pour out.

Categories     Desserts     Candy Recipes     Chocolate Candy Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 ½ pounds confectioners' sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups semisweet chocolate pieces
1 tablespoon shortening or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the butter, vanilla, and cream cheese. Stir in confectioners' sugar to make a workable dough. For best results, use your hands for mixing.
  • Divide the dough into four parts. Leave one of the parts plain. To the second part, mix in peanut butter. Mix coconut into the third part, and cocoa powder into the last part. Roll each type of dough into egg shapes, and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate until hard, at least an hour.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick for coating, stir in a teaspoon of the shortening or oil until it thins to your desired consistency. Dip the chilled candy eggs in chocolate, and return to the waxed paper lined sheet to set. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour to harden.

  • Take a lg. spoon, and spoon some melted chocolate on top, spreading around with a butter knife. Make sure you don't get it on too thick, or you won't have enough for the whole batch.
