Easter Creatures

If you are blessed to get lots of eggs at Easter time, have some fun and turn them into creatures. For some of these cute animals you’ll need a chocolate mold but for others you can just use the eggs you got for Easter.

This week I want to take a moment to say a big “Thank you”, to everyone who lets me know when they find my videos stolen and reposted on other social media accounts. I do appreciate seeing comments in my instagram feed that say “this was stolen from @howtocookthat”. I always check them and where appropriate fill out a copyright complaint form. There were so many this week. We live in a strange world where people think it is okay to take someone else’s hours of hard work and use it without permission for their own gain.

Ok onto the cute chocolate animals…

    Hi Ann!
    My boyfriend and I made the dragon from the video. It was our first attempt at making something from the show and it turned out much better than we expected! We used huge Kinder Surprise eggs and it gave him an adorable looking smile. We love your videos and can’t wait for the next episode. Lots of love, Alisa and Tim

    • Great work Alisa & Tim. We love your little dragon.

    Hi Ann adorable creatures! You are inspirational, awesome, and creative! Random question: where do you get your egg moulds?

    • Hi Kitty, Ann has collected her egg molds from many different places over a few years. She has said that they are usually easy to find in cake decorating stores and if you are in Australia, check out spotlight stores.
