Each year, I love to come up with unique treats to place inside my kids’ Easter baskets. There was the year of the homemade chocolate lollipops that were shaped like bunnies. Oh, and the chocolate dipped Rice Krispies treats were a big hit another year.  I love to come up with treats that are creative but also quick and easy. We busy moms only have so much time in a day. Am I right?

Chocolate Confetti Easter Eggs DIY

This year I decided to try my hand at making chocolate eggs. But not just any chocolate eggs. I decided to make chocolate confetti Easter eggs with a little surprise inside.  Here’s this year’s fun Easter treat–chocolate confetti eggs bursting with sprinkles and candies inside!

Materials

  • plastic Easter egg (separate the two parts before beginning)
  • baking chocolate or chocolate melts
  • large bowl
  • spoon
  • candies and sprinkles
  • sharp knife

Directions

  • Place baking chocolate or chocolate melts in a large microwavable bowl. Heat it on high for 30 seconds at a time. Stir after each heating. Continue doing this until the chocolate is completely melted without any lumps.
  • Fill the larger part of the plastic egg with chocolate leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top

  • Add the top onto the plastic egg. Slowly spin the egg around to coat the inside with chocolate. (Tip: It’s best to use a light colored egg, so you can easily see if there are any places that have not been covered with chocolate.
  • Place the egg in the freezer. Flip it after about 2-3 minutes and place it back in the freezer. Leave it in the freezer for about 6-8 more minutes.
  • Take the plastic egg out of the freezer. Tap gently and twist the two sides of the plastic egg apart to remove your hollow chocolate egg.
  • Using the knife, cut a small hole in one end of the chocolate egg.

  • Put small candies and sprinkles in through the opening.

These chocolate confetti Easter eggs are such as fun Easter treat! Fill with a note, sprinkles or little chocolates!

  • Replace the part of the egg you cut out using some of the remaining melted chocolate from the bowl as “glue”.
  • Repeat these steps to make as many confetti eggs as you need.

Finishing Ideas

That’s a wrap! Oh, and speaking of wrap…don’t forget to wrap your Chocolate Confetti Eggs inside clear treat bags. Throw in a few extra sprinkles and top each bag off with a ribbon. They’ll look amazing in your kids’ Easter baskets. Imagine the looks on their sweet faces when they break–or bite–open their tasty chocolate eggs and find them bursting with candies and sprinkles. It’s a surprise you’ll want to capture. Don’t forget to save a few chocolate confetti eggs for yourself too. You don’t want to miss out on the deliciousness because everyone knows that the best part of an Easter egg–even a chocolate one–is breaking it open to see what’s inside.

  1. How fun is this!! Very creative. I can just see my boys “cracking” the chocolate eggs for the treats inside. I’m pretty positive I’m going to have to make some of these on Spring Break before the holiday. Found you at the From Dream to Reality link party. Pinning!

  2. These are SO cute and you make it look easy! Though I prefer the taste of regular chocolate, like you used, I bet these could be made with candy melts or colored white chocolate for colored eggs too! I’m off to buy plastic eggs so I can try this!

  21. This is pure genius, here I was thinking you’d use a mold or wrap chocolate around an egg like making a pinata. My favorite thing for Easter was getting large chocolate eggs filled with more chocolate and jelly beans. I also got Easter Baskets made entirely of solid milk chocolate from the same place. I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that they moved out of town.

  27. I absolutely love this idea. I can’t believe I have never seen anything like it. My kids love the Kinder Sorpresa Eggs so I know these will totally thrill them. So excited!

    • Two suggestions. One, you could try doing a bit of a thicker chocolate layer so it’s a bit stronger. If you think the chocolate is already pretty thick, try warming up the plastic a bit before trying to separate it {either let it sit out for a few minutes when you take it out of the freezer or run a warm towel over it. This should hopefully help it release a little better. I hope that helps! Also, the quality of the chocolate can make a difference so make sure you have some good chocolate. 🙂
