Make hollow chocolate eggs and fill them with your favorite Easter candy. Then hide them in Easter baskets or use them to decorate your dinner table. Break them open to find a surprise inside.
If using polycarbonate egg molds or plastic egg ornament molds, fill each egg cavity completely with chocolate then tap the mold to allow air bubbles to come to the surface and pop.
Turn the mold upside down over your bowl of chocolate and allow the excess chocolate to drip out, leaving a thin shell of chocolate in the mold.
Scrape off the excess chocolate, cleaning the top surface of the mold.
If using a plastic hobby-grade mold or silicone mold, brush a thin layer of chocolate over the bottom and up the sides of each egg cavity.
If using pure chocolate, chill the eggs in the refrigerator until hardened, about 20 minutes. If using compound chocolate (candy melts, almond bark, melting wafers, etc.) chill the eggs in the freezer for about 5 minutes until hardened.
Remove and unmold the chocolates.
Fill half of the eggshells with candy.
Heat a skillet on low heat for about 20-30 seconds. Remove it from the heat.
Set an empty chocolate egg, open side down, in the pan, and allow the edge to melt slightly.
Gently press that eggshell half over a candy-filled chocolate eggshell to seal the two halves together.
Repeat.
If desired, drizzle chocolate over the top of each egg and add sprinkles, or you can pipe chocolate letters to personalize your eggs or you can add decorations to create bunnies, chicks, etc.
