Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Corn Syrup
  • 1/4 cup softened Butter
  • 3 cup confectioner's powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • Yellow Food Coloring
  • 1 package 16 ounces Ghirardelli dark chocolate
  • 1-2 tablespoons canola oil
  • Silicone Ester Egg mold

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter, corn syrup and vanilla until smooth.
  • Sift in the confectioner's powdered sugar and beat on medium low speed until well mixed.
  • Transfer 1/3 of the filling to another bowl and color it with yellow food coloring.
  • Put the two bowls in the freezer, for at least an hour,as they're easier to work with once they're set up a little.
  • Place the half of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt for about 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, or until mostly melted.
  • Stir in the canola oil until mixture is smooth and completely melted.
  • Pour some chocolate into a silicone egg mold, filling bottom of each egg about 1/2 inch, and swirl to coat the sides.
  • Place in the freezer and freeze until chocolate is set, about 1 hour.
  • Roll the yellow mixture into balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Place in the freezer for 20 minutes or so. Remove from freezer and scoop an amount of white mixture and flatten it into a circle.
  • Place yellow ball in the middle and wrap the white around it forming into an egg shape.
  • Return to prepared sheet and place in freezer until the egg shapes are solid.
  • Place the remaining half of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt for about 90 seconds,
  • Stir in the canola oil until mixture is smooth and completely melted.
  • Place eggs shapes in chocolate coated silicone egg mold.
  • Pour rest of chocolate into a silicone egg mold, filling each egg entirely.
  • Place in the refrigerator until chocolate has set.
  • Best to store these in the freezer as well. If you store these in the fridge, they will become slightly soft.
