Equipment

  • 1 Chocolate melting pot or microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 Whisk or spatula
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Egg-shaped silicone mold
  • 1 Toothpicks or skewer
  • 1 Small piping bag or plastic sandwich bag for decorating
  • 1 Scissors

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chocolate candy melts (yellow)
  • 1 cup chocolate candy melts (blue)
  • 1 cup chocolate candy melts (black)
  • 2 cups white chocolate candy melts
  • 12 medium-sized Easter eggs (hollow or chocolate)
  • 24 small candy eyes (or edible eyeballs)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (for the Minion's mouth)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your workspace by covering the baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
  • Melt the yellow chocolate candy melts in the chocolate melting pot or microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and fully melted.
  • Carefully pour the melted yellow chocolate into the egg-shaped silicone mold, ensuring it coats all sides evenly. Place the mold in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
  • Once the yellow chocolate has set, carefully remove the yellow egg shapes from the mold and place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Melt the white chocolate candy melts in the same way and use it to fill the top half of the yellow eggs, creating a filling that resembles Minions' bodies. Allow it to cool slightly.
  • Attach a mini marshmallow to create the Minion mouth using a toothpick. Place two candy eyes on top of the white chocolate while it’s still soft so they stick properly.
  • For the Minion overalls, melt the blue candy melts and carefully dunk the bottom half of the yellow eggs into the melted blue chocolate, letting it drip off slightly.
  • Once dipped, place the blue-bottomed Minion eggs back on the parchment paper to set for another 15 minutes.
  • Finally, melt the black chocolate candy melts and use a piping bag or a small sandwich bag with a corner cut off to pipe on the details of the Minion’s eyes and mouth.

Notes

Feel free to customize the decorations using different color candy melts for various Minion designs.
