This
BAKED recipe is actually a Chocolate Egg Cup - the cup being mini-muffin liners. When
Elaine told me she was trying her Martha Stewart egg molds, I thought "ingenious". Little did I know there was a box of these molds on my basement shelf (go figure). Melted chocolate lines the molds (or cups) and a marshmallow filling of sugar syrup whipped with gelatin sits inside. To top it off, more melted chocolate covers the filling and after a quick chill, these confections are ready to pop out and line your Easter basket - or dessert table.
EASTER GREETINGS. It was rather fitting this week's recipe from BAKED features chocolate. And even more fitting that it also includes light, fluffy marshmallow. Both an Easter tradition and quite a winning combination. Peter seems to think so too.

I was rather impressed at how delicious homemade marshmallow is - even better sandwiched in-between bittersweet chocolate - ala Trader Joe's. Leftover melted chocolate lined some spring flower candy molds.

I am so glad you had the molds and made them with me, Mike. They look beautiful! I especially like those little dogwood chocolates. :) Happy Easter!

Wow, Mike! I am totally impressed! These look like they came from a fine chocolaterie!
Happy Easter!
your chocolate is so shiny! did you use all dark chocolate or the mix of dark + milk that the baked boys recommended?
Your chocolate has a gorgeous, shiny finish -- so professional! Your molded eggs are fabulous!!
Great idea. These would be a huge hit around here, since my girls love anything with marshmallow.
You have many talents that you show in your posts.
