Stuffed Easter Egg Halves

     Sometimes when flicking about the internet you come across a real gem of an idea. I can't remember how I stumbled across these mad boys.

     Louise used a smashed up mix of favourite chocolate bars or biscuits. I decided I would stuff them with dark chocolate and baileys truffles.

     To make the truffles I followed a standard truffle recipe and just topped up the cream with baileys. Their shapes may be a bit random but I lost patience trying to make them perfectly round by hand. 

     Once these were set, I got on to making the Easter egg halves. I used an empty Easter egg box for a mould. 

     Simply melt chocolate (slowly and gently) then pour into the plastic moulds. If you rub the plastic with some butter, the chocolate shouldn't stick. 

     Let this cool to room temperature, then place in the fridge to set. Once they are set they should just pop out of the mould.

     I accidentally whacked the egg on the right off the side of the fridge.. so it got a little dented. Try not to do that. 

     After you have the shells, you just need to fill these with truffles or your favourite crushed up bars. 

     After that all you have to do is melt some more chocolate, wait until these has cooled a bit so it doesn't melt your egg shells and pour it over your filling. And there you have it.
