Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 Spoon or spatula
  • 1 Toothpicks
  • 1 Food decorating gel
  • 1 Small round candies (for eyes)

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large chocolate eggs Such as Cadbury Creme Eggs.
  • 1 cup yellow candy melts
  • ½ cup blue candy melts
  • 24 small round candies Such as M&Ms or chocolate-covered candies for eyes.
  • 1 tube black food decorating gel For details.
  • ¼ cup confectioners' sugar For dusting.

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place the decorated eggs on it once completed.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the yellow candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
  • Dip each chocolate egg into the melted yellow candy melts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow excess candy to drip off.
  • Place the coated eggs on the lined baking sheet and let them cool for about 5 minutes or until the coating has set.
  • Melt the blue candy melts in a separate bowl, following the same technique as before.
  • Use a spoon to create a 'band' around the middle of each yellow-coated egg with the blue candy melts. Allow to cool until set.
  • Once the blue band has set, use the black food decorating gel to create goggles for the Minions by drawing a circle around each eye location.
  • Place a small round candy for each eye on top of the goggles.
  • Use the decorating gel to add a smile and any additional features you desire on the Minions.
  • For a finishing touch, dust the decorated eggs lightly with confectioners' sugar for a fun effect.
  • Let the decorated Minion Easter Eggs sit for another 10 minutes to fully set before serving or packaging.
