Use a spoon, its easier (& it says so in my chocolate treat maker instructions too! )
Did I really read you are going to 'ice' them?:eek: Don't forget to get some h&t to cover up any botches! But put the kid's names on them, they will forgive you for anything if you do that!:rotfl:

I tried a spoon, just as fiddly....and what is h&t?

h&t - the very shortened version of 'hundreds & thousands' but on reflection they may not look right on easter eggs, best for slabs I think... But then you won't need them anyway will you? There won't be any 'bodged' icing to cover up...

Ohhh, thanks for cracking that secret code for me. :rolleyes:;)

Well if it is bodged, my niece and nephew know what I am like.:rolleyes:..they are just excited about getting a homemade one.

An easier way to pour the melted choc into fiddly moulds is to pour it into a freezer bag, not sandwich bag as they aren't as strong, tie a knot in the bag and snip a small hole in it. You can then pipe the choc into the moulds without as much mess.

what a great tip finc, thanks for that. I have today to myself so I might even think about doing some myself as despite following this thread from the start I haven't actually made anything yet

As I have made anything at all, whatsoever, nada, I might just have to start back at the beginning of the thread

What?! And MAKE EVERYTHING!!:eek: - No, that wasn't what you meant was it? You meant you were going to read it all again weren't you? Isn't that also called procrastinating? LOL. If you've got some equipment, just go for it!

Great eggs Jeremy, well done you! <Clap,Clap> They look just like Thorntons with the names iced on. And its not last minute until the relatives are knocking on the door is it LouBlue? :rotfl:
