This Smash Eggs recipe using this silicone egg mold, which comes as a set of two molds with six egg halves in each, making six full-sized smash eggs.

We also use that mold to make peanut butter eggs and chocolate covered brownie eggs, so if you buy it, you’ll have a few ways to use it.

DIY Chocolate Easter Smash Eggs Ingredients:

You can get the full list of ingredients with measurements in the recipe card below.

• Candy melts – You need purple, green, and yellow candy melts.
• Almond bark – You want both vanilla and chocolate almond bark.
• Various Easter candy – Any candy that you like works. We used mini marshmallows, pastel M&M’s, mini Reese’s pieces, and Peeps hard candy.

How To Make Chocolate Easter Smash Eggs:

Melt the purple candy melts according to the package.

Quick tip if you’ve never used candy melts before: Microwave them for one minute, then stir. If they’re not melted, microwave them for an additional 30 seconds, then stir again. Continue at 30 second intervals until the candy melts are completely melted.

Since you’re only using a couple for this, you should be fine after the first 30 seconds.

Another quick note: You won’t need as much purple as 15 candy melts makes. Same with the green and yellow. However, if you don’t use enough candy melts, they’ll harden very quickly because there’s not enough residual heat to keep them warm.

Use a (brand new) paint brush to paint some of the lines and dots in the silicone egg mold purple.

While you’re painting, keep in mind the lines or dots that you’re painting purple. Paint coordinating lines or dots in the second mold the sample color.

Melt the green candy melts according to the package. Use the paint brush to paint some of the lines and dots in the mold green.

And, finally, melt the yellow candy melts according to the package and paint the remaining lines and dots yellow.

Melt one square of the vanilla almond bark.

Quick note: Chocolate chips don’t melt as well as almond bark does. With chocolate chips, you run the risk of the chocolate hardening too quickly (and then you can’t remelt it) or burning (because you heated it for too long).

Almond bark is very forgiving. If it hardens before you’re done with it, you can just microwave it again. And it’s very, very difficult to overheat it or burn it, so it’s easy to work with.

Spoon some of the melted almond bark into three of the six cavities in the silicone egg mold. Use the back of the spoon to spread the melted almond bark over the entirety of the cavity.

Do this will the coordinating cavities in the second mold.

Melt one square of the chocolate almond bark.

Divide it between the six remaining cavities in the molds.

Put the molds in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Melt one square of the vanilla almond bark. Split it between the six vanilla eggs, making sure to spread it out using the back of a spoon.

Melt one square of the chocolate almond bark. Split it between the six chocolate eggs, spreading it out with the back of the spoon.

Put the molds back in the freezer for an additional 20 minutes.

Remove the molds from the freezer and the homemade chocolate eggs should pop right out.

If they don’t, that means your layers were too thin. Don’t force them out. Add a third layer of almond bark and freeze them an additional 20 minutes. You shouldn’t have to do this, but just in case.

Heat a plate in a microwave for one minute.

Put one half of the chocolate egg on the plate for three to five seconds to slightly melt it.

Fill it with various Easter candy.

You can use any candy as long as it’s not exposed chocolate. So candy-coated chocolate, marshmallows, and anything gummy will work really well. A chocolate bar chopped into pieces will not work.

Put the coordinating half on the hot plate to melt it a little as well.

Place the egg halves together, holding until the two halves are molded together.

Store these in the fridge until you’re ready to package them.

To package them, add a bit of green paper shred, plus white paper shred for the vanilla eggs and brown paper shred for the chocolate eggs, to the bottom of a treat bag.

Carefully place one smash egg in each treat bag.

Add a wooden mallet (you can purchase them online. We made ours and there will be a tutorial for those soon).

Tie with a piece of green tulle.

Depending on where you live, and how hot the weather is, we would recommend keeping these in the fridge until you’re ready to gift them.
