4. Roll through the mixed topping ingredients.
5. The balls are kept in the fridge for about 3-4 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. so keep about 2-3 months.

Chocolate eggs must be? But of course. And that's why we chose a great dark chocolate and chocolated fruits. We liked the grapes best, because they remind us of small chocolate eggs. With a second chocolate we provided variety.

By the way, coloring Easter eggs is also possible without chemical colors. With natural food we don't even need to buy paints, but have them as well as at home.

INGREDIENTS:
yellow eggs - turmeric 1 tablespoon + 1,5 l water
green eggs - 1 pkg spinach + 1,5 l water
pink eggs - 1/2 l beetroot juice + 1 l water
other:
Apple vinegar

PREPARATION:

1. Bring the ingredients for the selected colour to the boil in a saucepan. 
2. Clean the eggs with a cake cloth and some cider vinegar to keep the colour on the egg.
3. Cook the eggs in coloured water for 10 minutes. 
4. After the cooking time, drain on a kitchen towel and let dry.
5. For the marbled egg that we made above, you can easily break the shell of the egg after 10 minutes cooking time in different places, so the water can run in and create a color inside the egg Just leave it in the water for another 5 minutes. 

Amaranth-Chocolate-Taler
