Ingredients
- Candy Melts in Various Colors (pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple), melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Mold:
- Start by coating the inside of an egg-shaped chocolate mold with melted pink candy melts. Ensure to use a thin layer for even coverage.
- Chill and Set:
- Place the mold in the freezer to set the first layer of candy melts, which should take about 5-10 minutes.
- Add More Layers:
- Repeat the process with each color of candy melts, applying a new color layer once the previous one has set. Chill each layer as you go to ensure that the colors do not mix and remain distinct.
- Final Setting:
- Once all the layers have been applied, ensure a final setting period in the freezer to solidify the rainbow egg completely.
- Unmold:
- Carefully remove the rainbow chocolate eggs from the mold.
Tips
- Layer Thickness: Keep each layer thin to ensure that the egg does not become too bulky and difficult to eat.
- Chilling: Make sure each layer is fully set before adding the next to maintain sharp, distinct color layers.
- Unmolding: If the eggs are sticking, briefly run the outside of the mold under warm water to help release them without melting the chocolate.
