Marzipan Easter eggs are a perfect treat to hand out during the Easter holiday. This simple, easy and effortless method of making homemade marzipan Eater eggs is fool-proof and enjoyable. You can make them with vanilla or chocolate marzipan, and you can also stuff them with sweet centers. Either way, they are a must-have Easter treat.
Place a piece of plastic wrap over the egg mold. This will ensure the marzipan eggs can be easily removed from the mold. Otherwise, the oil in the marzipan can cause it to tick in the mold.
That a small ball of marzipan and knead with your finger so you have no cracks. Place it into the mold over the plastic wrap and press down into shape. Pro tip - the amount of marzipan will depend on the size of the mold.
You should now have a smooth half egg in the mold. Flip the mold using the plastic wrap to remove it from the mold.
Decorate the half egg with icing sugar borders and blossoms (as shown in the video).Alternatively, you can also attach two halves with melted chocolate to make a full egg shape. It is kinda heavy (and expensive)
Stuffed Marzipan Easter eggs
That a small ball of marzipan and knead with your finger so you have no cracks. Place it into the mold over the plastic wrap and press down into shape. Pro tip - the amount of marzipan will depend on the size of the mold and the size of the nut you stuff into the mold.
Then place a chocolate-coated nut in the middle of marzipan. Press down firmly but gently so it sinks in but does not break. Make sure the marzipan wraps the nut and the top is smooth.

Chocolate coated marzipan Easter eggs
Melt compound chocolate in a bowl. Add a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil so it is a thick pouring consistency. Pro tip - The thicker the chocolate the thicker the coating around the eggs. Alternatively, you can usetempered chocolate.
Drop the egg in the chocolate and coat it on all sides. Pick with a fork and let excess drip off. Gently scrape the bottom of the egg on the edge of the bowl and place it on parchment paper. Pro tip - make sure to let the excess drip off well otherwise there will be a pool of melted chocolate around the egg on the parchment paper. You don't want that.
You can let the chocolate set then decorate with borders and blossoms (as shown in the video). Or you can stick some decoration to the eggs while the chocolate is still wet.
