Anyway, these eggs are probably not the best for hiding, but I think you will find them perfect for eating!
Chocolate Filled Easter Eggs
1/2 pound Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Block
1/2 jar Trader Joe's Cookie Butter
1/2 jar Nutella
Egg Mold
small food safe Paintbrush
Melt the milk chocolate in a double boiler. Melting the chocolate on a low, slow burner is the best road to success.
Use a paintbrush that is only used for food to paint the bottoms of each egg in the mold. Paint up the sides, then look at it from the bottom to make sure all is covered. Refrigerate until solid.
Melt the cookie butter in a double boiler. You do not need to add anything to it. Cookie Butter has a great creamy consistency when heated. Make your own double boiler by using two pans, one slightly larger than the other. Fill the larger of the two with a cup or two of hot water, but not too much. When you put the smaller pan on top of the bigger one, you do not want the top pan to touch the water.
Fill the mold with the melted cookie butter. Leave just enough at the top to add the bottom chocolate layer. Refrigerate until set up completely.
Once the inside filling is set up, put you bottom layer on. You can brush it on or carefully pour it on a little at a time. Use the same milk chocolate that you used for the top of your egg. You don't need much, just enough to cover the filling. Smooth with the paintbrush. Refrigerate.
To make the nutella filled eggs, melt the nutella in a double boiler just like the cookie butter. It works exactly the same way. Fill the mold with some milk chocolate to cover the top of the egg. Refrigerate.
Add the Nutella. Isn't that so smooth and pretty! Refrigerate, then add the bottom layer of milk chocolate just like for the cookie butter eggs. Refrigerate again.
Decorate your eggs how ever you would like. Designs, words, names, hashtags, anything works! I used my favorite Royal Icing recipe to make mine.

There are a lot of different ways to fill chocolate eggs. You could use any of the baking chips, like the butterscotch chips, caramel chips, or even the mint chocolate chips. They would all be yummy!
