Who's making their own?
This is what I'm doing. I bought molds from Spotlight & whittakers Dark chocolate (1st cake got eaten  )
I've melted a little bit of chocolate & using a pastry brush am brushing layers in the molds. I've got one big one & one with about 5 small ones. I think I can make 2 big eggs & one tray of little ones from 1 cake of chocolate. WAY Cheaper! I've bought colours tinsel paper as well to wrap them up. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Sounds like fun - make sure you take a pic and show us how they turn out! Were the two halves of the egg easy to put together? ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

I might try this too - thanks for the idea! I used to always make choccies at christmas time too and wrap them in little cellophane bags.
I wa splanning on goingto spotlight today for some of their little plastic eggs that you can fill with things like coins or lollies - great for egg hunts! |

Haven't finished. Apparently they need to be 1/4 inch thick first. Then you heat a cookie sheet in the oven & quickly touch them down on it & press together.
I think that bit will be a little tricky! Yep will post a pic. I'm trying to avoid dairy so Cooper & I can have some which is why I got the idea of making my own. Question is a baby going to wake up before I finish the next layer??? ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Here's one finished product! Used a tad too much wrapping on it though.

Yep, the big one was $5 & really sturdy so will last a long time. $3.29 for a block of chocolate so makes for cheap easter eggs ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">
