# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Shell

01 - 10.6 oz high-quality white chocolate
02 - 1 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberry powder
03 - Red or pink food coloring to taste

→ Crunch Filling

04 - 2.8 oz milk chocolate
05 - 2.5 oz hazelnut spread
06 - 1.4 oz crisped rice cereal
07 - 1.1 oz chopped roasted hazelnuts
08 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Decoration

09 - Edible gold leaf as needed
10 - Melted chocolate for sealing

# Directions:

01 - Melt white chocolate gently over a double boiler or in short microwave bursts, stirring until smooth. Add freeze-dried strawberry powder and food coloring if desired, mixing thoroughly for even color distribution.
02 - Using a pastry brush or spoon, coat silicone Easter egg molds with a thick, even layer of strawberry chocolate. Refrigerate for 10 minutes, then apply a second coat for structural integrity. Chill until completely set, approximately 15 minutes.
03 - Melt milk chocolate and combine with hazelnut spread, vanilla extract, crisped rice cereal, and chopped roasted hazelnuts until fully incorporated. Cool slightly until mixture reaches spreadable consistency.
04 - Carefully spoon or pipe the crunch filling into each chocolate shell, maintaining a small border around the edges. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the filling.
05 - Gently warm the edge of a second chocolate shell half and press firmly onto the filled half to create a seal. Smooth any visible seams using additional melted chocolate if needed.
06 - Brush with edible gold leaf or drizzle with white chocolate for festive presentation. Refrigerate until service.
