Hi ,I do a simple raw choc recipe.equal amounts of cacao butter (melted) and chocolate powder (added slowly)and sweetened with carob nectar.Can get all of these from detoxyourworld and first two cheaper from funky raw.Flavours: Vanilla is nice for flavour - also steenbergs rose of peppermint.Also nice with chopped nuts and/or raisins.I have managed to make chocolate egg moulds (need to roll the chocolate around inside so that it's not too thin - the flavours have a thickening effect I've found so maybe easier to mould without them.). The problem has been joining the two halves together.

Thanks for the question and the answer! I was starting to think about Easter eggs. I did some last year and although Nico was very happy to have them they were not great

I found some egg moulds in a local shop but they were plastic so not ideal, what did you made your moulds of Sandy?

I think what I did was joining the halves with some more chocolate and it worked ok but perhaps something like honey might work as well

FWIW

 

Lidl are currently selling bunnie and sheep chocolate moulds.. they fit together so you pour in the melted chocolate and swish it aroune so it forms a complete hollow shape.. I had a quick look at them yesterday.. since my kids don't like chocolate .. there was not point buying...

 

It was a set of two and I think they were under £10... they will probably only have them in this week..

 

Happy Easter chocky making!!

Hi ,I've been wondering the same about solid eggs. I'm sure it would be a lot easier to seal two solid parts rather than two hollows (it was very hard to get smooth edges and the more we tried the more they started to crack ...)

I think you could seal two solid halves with a bit of melted chocolate. I tried coconut oil for oiling the moulds and it didn't go well (forget the details sorry). The thing that put me off the solid eggs before was the density of chocolate - this is REALLY chocolatey chocolate!

We get a red ear with a LOT of chocolate and some enzymes (or after a meal with enzymes) is best if it is a bigger portion.Would love to know how you get on with your bunnies!

looks like a non stick surface on some sort of metal.. I figured that since they are just moulds they would not be too toxic!!

Here's our favourite - we usually substitute coconut water given we can't reliably get good green coconutsProcess:1/4 of a cup of Coconut Oil2 Big Handfuls of Cocoa Butter1 to 1 1/2 Handfuls of CurrantsThen Add:1/2 tbspn MaccaWater of 1 Young Coconut, meat optional.Process then add:A Good Dollop of Black Strap Molasses.now add:1/2 cup cocoa1/2 cup carobAnd slowly add water in increments to the blending if the colour is too white, more cocoa and currants can also be added to get the colour a nice solid black. Fridge or freeze this mix. Slice it. Eat it all. Share with no one!On 24 Mar 2010, at 17:41, Tracey Clewer wrote:looks like a non stick surface on some sort of metal..
