Sprinkle Filled Chocolate Easter Eggs
Our Sprinkle-filled Easter Eggs are a fun twist on the classic chocolate egg that we associate with Easter. This three-step recipe is particularly easy to follow along.

Once set, take your new chocolate eggs out of their mould, fill one side of the mould with your sprinkles and seal the other side of the empty eggshell with the remainder of your melted chocolate. Allow your creations to chill until set, and in approximately 5 minutes, you'll have fun-filled eggs ready for you and your friends to enjoy!

You can also add sprinkles, pearls and any other decorations before placing your creation in the fridge to set.
Oreo Easter Bark
For a chocolate treat that's fun to make and even more fun to serve, try our Oreo Easter Bark.
