Today I'm gonna show you how to make this really cool Easter egg. (well I dont think so).
Perfect. If you know someone who's a fan of Lego. ( I am but not impressed with this).
We're not actually gonna make the chocolate egg. (wow). LOL!
We're just gonna modify a bought one. So once you've selected one open it up
And carefully remove the foil wrapper you
can see the egg is actually made of two halves and
Our two halves are stuck together. If yours aren't joined together. You can take a look at my previous video
There's a link in the description below and see how you can join yours together
Next I'm using a knife to carefully make a hole in the side of the egg
Then I'm snapping pieces off to make an opening a bit like a window into the egg
When you're done it should look like this
Next I'm gonna melt this chocolate
So I rolled it over the edge of the work surface
To break it into individual pieces
Then opened it up and
Tipped it out into this bowl
I'm putting this into a pan of hot water to make a band Marie to melt the chocolate
Once it had melted. I removed the bowl and left it to cool down a bit
To make the lego style figure inside the egg. I'm using this flexible silicon mould
You could fill it with chocolate but I'm using marzipan
Tear off a piece
And I'm adding a drop of yellow food coloring
Knead it together until you've got a nice even yellow color
And I'm using this yellow to filled the head section over the mold
And the hands
Next I took a bit more marzipan and this time I dyed it blue with blue food coloring
And I used this to fill the rest of the mold
Because I'd warmed it up slightly whilst kneading it I put it in the fridge to try and keep it as solid as possible
Next I rolled out a piece of greaseproof kitchen paper
Took my chocolate egg and
Poured on some of the melted chocolate from the bowl
I
Took the egg and
Sat it in the chocolate. I
Leant it against the bowl and left it to set
Once it has set you can remove the bowl
And peel it off the paper and your egg has now got a sort of pedestal stand to sit on
Next I took the marzipan and
Carefully removed it from the mold
You can see we've got this really cool Lego style marzipan figure
It looks great. And I'm sure it'll be tasty I
Sat it inside the egg
Then took some Smarties and put them around the figure
I'm also dipping one side into the melted chocolate and
Sticking them around the hole in the egg like this to make a border
It helps if your melted chocolate is near setting point
They should stick on relatively easily. I went all the way around so it looks like this
Then I tipped a load more Smarties and M&Ms around the base and
There's our Lego style figure in an Easter Egg
Pretty sweet, huh?
It does look really cool
But I did think maybe the figure stands a bit low in the egg
so I've removed the Smarties and
Took him out
Then I took a spoonful of the melted chocolate which was near setting point and
Put it inside the egg. I
Put the figure on top of this so it sits a bit higher
And I bunched up all the sweets in the front and
You can see it looks a lot better with him standing that little bit higher you
Can see the whole figure now including the feet
If you want to you can use a cocktail stick and some chocolate
To draw on a couple of eyes and a smile
And that's our finished egg
It does look really cool and it makes a great surprise for a lego fan
You could make the figure out of chocolate or icing
You can spoon-feed to the sweets or tip more inside the egg again
And if you want to you can use a hammer
To crack open the egg do be careful not to smash the plate
You can break off parts of the figure
And remove sections of the chocolate I
Did feel a bit bad for taking off his head
The marzipan really did stick down into the melted chocolate that are spooned in I
