hundreds & thousands of eggs!

Yes, I know easter has been & gone. You've probably polished off the last of your chocolate, or if you were like me, you didnt really get a hell of a lot... 

Whatever your situation you cant turn your back on these - rocky road (haha, I had written 'roady road'!) eggs covered in hundreds and thousands - woah!!!!

Heres the recipe - it might require a few hours at the gym afterwards, but it'll be totally worth it im sure!!

Serves 4

300g dark chocolate

100 g milk chocolate

300ml cream

100g marshmallow, roughly chopped

100g Madeira cake, roughly chopped

100g chocolate freckles, roughly chopped

canola oil spray

hundreds and thousands

Step 1.  Break the dark & milk chocolate into pieces in a bowl. Bring cream to the boil in a saucepan & pour it over the chocolate. Stir until chocolate has melted, then put bowl over a larger bowl of iced water, to cool. In another bowl, mix marshmallows with the cake & chocolate freckles.

Step 2.  Spray each egg half-mould half with canola oil & line with plastic wrap, leaving a 1cm overhang. Flatten out any air pockets under the plastic wrap. When chocolate & cream mixture has cooled to about 30-34 degrees celsius (just below body temperature & still runny), combine it with the marshmallow mixture.  Fill each half-mould with mixture to just above the rim. Align the 2 halves & gently press together. Wrap whole egg moulds in plastic wrap & refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 3.  When set, remove the eggs from moulds. Roll in hundreds & thousands.
