Steps:
- Using a 2-pound plastic Easter egg chocolate candy mold as a guide, cut the cake to fit inside the base of the mold; set aside (discard the extra cake). Refrigerate the mold to chill, about 15 minutes.
- Put half the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining chocolate and continue to stir until smooth; this will result in a tempered chocolate that will set hard. Transfer 3/4 cup of the chocolate to a small bowl; set aside.
- Swirl half the remaining chocolate inside the mold to coat completely. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Repeat with the other half of the chocolate, swirling to create a thick layer; refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Fill the egg with the candy. Top with the cake cutout and press down firmly so the cake is flush with the mold (trim away any extra cake with a serrated knife).
- Microwave the reserved chocolate to remelt if needed, then measure out 1/2 cup. Spread the chocolate over the cake with a spatula to cover completely. Refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes.
- Invert the egg onto a serving platter or cake stand; remove the mold. Microwave the remaining chocolate to remelt if needed, then transfer to a piping bag with a small round tip. Use the chocolate to attach candies to the outside of the egg. Chill until ready to serve.
- Serve the egg with a big spoon or meat mallet and encourage guests to crack it open and watch the candy pour out.
CANDY EASTER EGG RECIPE
Easter Eggs made out of sugar icing, moulded onto two seperate wooden shaped moulds, then left over-night to dry which sets very hard. The two hollow moulds are then joined together with royal icing and decorated as desired. My Mum used to make these delicious Easter Eggs when I was a little girl for the whole family. They became so popular with the neighbourhood kids as well that she ended up having to make heaps more year after year.

Steps:
- Soak the Gum Tragacanth in only 1/4 cup of the water overnight.
- Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl and set aside until required.
- Put the 8 oz of sugar and 4 oz of glucose syrup and 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan, boil to 270 degrees Farenheight, stirring all the time.
- Remove from stove and cool a little. Approx 1-2 mins or mixture will start to set.
- Soak the gelatine in the remaining 1 cup of water and add to cooled mixture. If glucose mix is starting to set, reheat again until melted and mix through together.
- Beat the two egg whites until stiff and set aside.
- Add cooled glucose liquid to 4 kg of sifted icing sugar and stir well. Mixture will appear rather dry, don't be concerned as extra water can be added later.
- Strain the Gum Tragacanth and add to icing mixture.
- Add the beaten egg whites and the mix through.
- Add extra water a little at a time as too much will make the mixture soggy. Once mixture starts to bind together, take out of bowl and knead until it resembles a pliable icing.
- If the mixture appears too runny, add some of the remaining 1kg of icing sugar, a little at a time.
- Once kneaded, roll out for use on the moulds or keep covered in an airtight container until ready to use.
- If desired you can divide into portions and edible food colouring can be added a few drops at a time and kneaded into the icing to make different coloured Easter Eggs.
- When eggs have been moulded and set aside to dry over-night, join the two halves together with royal icing and decorate as desired.

Steps:
- Melt colored melts in a heat-proof bowl (or separate bowls, if using multiple colors) according to package instructions until completely melted and smooth. Consistency should be loose but spreadable; if too thick, stir in shortening, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, until proper consistency is reached.
- Using a food-safe paintbrush, brush insides of clean, dry 2-inch or 4-inch egg molds with light-handed, wide brushstrokes of colored melt. Refrigerate 5 minutes, or let set in a cool place about 30 minutes.
- Melt cocoa melts in a heatproof bowl according to package instructions until completely melted and smooth. Let cool until warm and pourable but no longer hot to the touch (if too hot, it will melt the brushstroke design). Working one at a time, pour 1 to 2 tablespoons cocoa melt (depending on size of mold) into each mold, over colored brushstrokes. Use a clean food-safe brush to gently brush chocolate into an even layer over bottom and up sides of each egg until completely covered, taking extra care when brushing over colored brushstrokes. Let set, then repeat 2 to 3 more times, until you have a nice, thick layer. (This will make the eggs sturdier and keep them from breaking during assembly.)
- Scrape edges of molds with a sharp paring knife to create clean edges; reserve any remaining chocolate to remelt for assembly. Refrigerate 5 to 10 minutes (to set and make easier to remove).
- Meanwhile, reheat reserved chocolate until smooth and brushable. Gently pop each egg half out of its mold, then fill one half with candies and brush edges with reserved chocolate. Press second egg half at seam until connected. Repeat with remaining eggs. Scrape seams of eggs with paring knife again to create a smooth oval. Handle with care and store in a cool, dry place up to 1 week.
