"Eggspecially" For You

Chocolate Easter eggs are essential in my Easter Baskets....... but, I find them on their own a tad lack luster. I reached for my Wilton stash of Daises, , Spring Nonpareils and pastel Candy Pearls, which are very similar to dragees. It just takes a dab of white chocolate applied with a toothpick to stick the Pearl to the Daisie I wanted a to create a cozy nest for my eggs. It was a challenge since I wanted it to be edible...of course. There's nothing softer and sweeter than Cotton Candy. For Easter gifts I nestled them in dot and striped egg cups. This dotted egg was covered in the candy Pearls using milk chocolate in place of the white to adhere the candy Pearls. To form the nonpareils cluster centers, I placed a few Daisie in a little dish and added the white chocolate just as I did for the Pearls. Then I sprinkled the nonpareils over the Daises until they were completely covered. After a few minutes they're dry and ready to apply to your eggs. Cluster Nonpareil Dais...
