1. Chocolate Caramel Easter Eggs

Chocolate Caramel Easter Eggs are a delightful treat that brings joy to any Easter celebration. These rich chocolate eggs, filled with gooey caramel, are sure to impress your family and friends.

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Additional Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients:

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Lollipop sticks or egg molds (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Mold the eggs: Using a spoon, coat the inside of the egg molds or desired shape with melted chocolate, ensuring an even layer. Allow the chocolate to harden in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Make the caramel filling: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of corn syrup, and 1/4 tsp of salt over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add cream and butter: Once the sugar mixture is bubbling, carefully stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture caramelizes and reaches a golden color, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
Cool the caramel: Allow the caramel to cool slightly, then transfer it to a piping bag or a small bowl.
Fill the molds: Once the chocolate in the molds is set, pipe the caramel into each egg until almost full, then reserve some space for more chocolate.
Seal the eggs: Melt the remaining chocolate and pour or spoon it on top of the caramel-filled molds, sealing the eggs.
Chill: Place the filled molds back in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Remove and enjoy: Carefully remove the eggs from the molds. Optionally, stick a lollipop stick into each egg for easy handling.

Tips:
For a more decadent treat, drizzle additional melted chocolate on top of the eggs after they have set. You can also experiment by adding a pinch of sea salt to the caramel for a salted caramel flavor.
