Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 2-3 drops yellow food coloring
  • 12 ounces milk chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, cream together the confectioners’ sugar, softened unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of salt until the mixture is light, fluffy, and completely smooth. Slowly drizzle in the light corn syrup and whole milk, mixing on low speed until everything is fully incorporated and you have a thick, pliable dough. The mixture should be firm enough to handle but still soft to the touch.
  • Divide this beautiful white fondant mixture into two unequal portions – one larger for the whites of the ‘egg’ and one smaller for the ‘yolk.’ Place the smaller portion back into the bowl and add a few drops of yellow food coloring. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a vibrant, sunny yellow hue. Remember, just a few drops at a time to prevent it from becoming too dark.
  • Take small amounts of the white fondant mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Then, take even smaller pinches of the yellow fondant and flatten them into tiny disks or tear-drop shapes. Gently press a yellow ‘yolk’ onto the center of each white ‘egg’ ball, blending the edges slightly, then reform into an oval or egg shape. Repeat this process until all your fondant is used up.
  • Place these shaped fondant centers onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or even better, an hour. This chilling step is crucial; it helps them firm up, making them much easier to dip into the chocolate without losing their shape.
  • While your fondant centers are chilling, it’s time to prepare our luscious dipping chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine your high-quality milk chocolate chips or finely chopped milk chocolate with a small amount of coconut oil. Microwave the chocolate mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat it, as this can cause the chocolate to seize. Stir until there are no lumps and the mixture is uniformly luxurious and shiny.
  • Remove your chilled fondant eggs from the refrigerator. Take one egg at a time and, using a dipping fork or a toothpick, carefully submerge it completely into the melted milk chocolate. Hold it over the bowl for a few seconds, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off, ensuring an even coating. Gently transfer the chocolate-coated egg back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat this process with all the remaining fondant eggs.
  • Once all the bites are dipped, place the baking sheet back into the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm to the touch. This chilling stage gives you that satisfying snap when you bite into the finished product.
