How to Make Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Easter Eggs

  1. Spread 7 cups of all-purpose flour evenly in each of three 13x9x2-inch baking pans, and 4 cups of all-purpose flour in a 9-inch square pan. Gently press a plastic Easter egg halfway into the flour to create an impression.
  2. Repeat step 1, creating 35 egg impressions in total, leaving a small space between each impression.
  3. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Set aside to bloom for 5 minutes.
  4. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/2 cup hot water.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula until a candy thermometer reads 238°F (114°C).
  6. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1/2 cup light corn syrup.
  7. Pour the hot syrup into a large mixing bowl.
  8. Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot syrup, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is thick and has cooled to lukewarm (about 10-15 minutes).
  9. Beat in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  10. Spoon the marshmallow mixture into the egg depressions in the flour.
  11. Lightly dust the filled eggs with flour.
  12. Let stand for 3-4 hours, or until completely set.
  13. Carefully remove the marshmallow eggs from the flour, gently brushing off any excess.
  14. Melt your favorite dark chocolate candy coating according to package directions.
  15. Dip each marshmallow egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
  16. Place the dipped eggs flat side down on wax paper to set.
  17. Once the chocolate has set, pour white candy coating into a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag.
  18. Snip a small corner off the bag and drizzle the white chocolate over the set eggs to decorate.
