Wow! Thanks folks, you're a speedy bunch! Or are you all waiting for your latest chocolate creations to set ;o)

Right, so I will take bunbun2's advice and start with the next level of Tesco chocolate, and see how that goes. If I make a mess of that, I'll know it's my own fault because we have the same mold!

Don't even get me started on trying to temper the chocolate?! That's waaaay too advanced! But I do have a large selection of Ikea ice-cube molds so I could give those a try as well.

Hmmmm...it's going to take a lot of experimenting to get this right - this is not going to help my diet!

More pictures please!

if I remember the dark and white choc were more shiny than the milk. I was pleased with mine but think I will also try different choc maybe not Tesco's own - will let you know how they turn out:D

actually tempering is not as hard as it seems I find it is just more time consuming.

Look at this clever man. Apart from the blow torch bit, :rolleyes: will need to dip the edges in choccie to stick the 2 halves together.

Think I need one of these if I am going to get the 2 egg halves to match each other properly. This is the link. Its a stainless steel chocolate scraper.

I put in mould but Google didn't like it.

I have apologised to OP in that thread for hi-jacking it. :rotfl:
