What it is
These are small, colorful, candy-coated chocolate eggs. They are made with milk chocolate and have a crisp, thin candy shell. The shells come in a variety of bright colors, making them visually appealing. They are a popular treat, especially around springtime holidays. The size and shape make them easy to eat by the handful. The chocolate inside is smooth and sweet.

When baking, these mini eggs can be added to cookie dough or cake batter before baking. They will soften slightly in the heat but retain their shape and color. For decorating, they can be pressed into frosting or sprinkled over desserts just before serving. They are also perfect for filling candy dishes or enjoying straight from the bag. Their small size makes them easy to distribute evenly in recipes or to grab a few for a quick sweet bite.

How to keep the rest
To keep the rest fresh, store the unopened bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, seal the bag tightly to maintain crispness and prevent the chocolate from melting or the shells from becoming stale. Avoid refrigeration as it can affect the texture of the chocolate and candy coating.
