Homemade Creme Eggs!

Ingredients:
170g Golden Syrup
55g Unsalted Butter
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
375g Icing Sugar
2 tsp Water
A Few Drops Of Orange Foodcolouring
200g Milk Chocolate

Method:
Step One:  Place the golden syrup,butter and vanilla extract into a bowl and mix well (i advise using an electric whisk if possible as its much quicker and easier)

Step Two:  Add the water to the mixture and then slowly add in the icing sugar.

Step Three:  Split the mixture saving 2/3 for the white and 1/3 for the yolk. Add orange food colouring to the yolk until you get the desired colour. Then put both mixtures in the freezer until they are hard enough to mold.

Step Four:  Roll the orange mixture into teaspoon sized balls and then put them back in the freezer.

Step Five:  Roll the white mixture into larger balls before flattening them slightly and making an indent in the middle with your thumb. Then place the yolk in the indent and wrap the white around the yolk ensuring it entirely covers the yolk (i found it easier to put them back in the freezer for about five minutes before doing this as the mixture becomes rather sticky)

Step Six:  After wrapping the yolk with the white return the eggs to the freezer

Step Seven:  Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan or in the microwave.

Step Eight:  Remove your eggs from the freezer and coat them in chocolate one by one. Place them on a plate and then put them back in the freezer to harden, you can try to touch up the chocolate to make them look neater but that is very very difficult! You can either eat them straight from the freezer/ store them in there or store them in the fridge.
