Calling all Chocolatiers: What are YOU Making Special for Easter This Year?

I am in the field of chocolate since 1995. People often asks questions about making chocolate, keeping chocolate, making any particular chocolate dessert etc, so I decided to build a website to help those people who want to make chocolate desserts at home but lack necessary experience ( more frankly for those, who are just amateurs , not professional chocolatiers).

We have just surfaced from the rush and waved the white flag yesterday! Nothing else in stock on our site until after Easter.My eggs this year were a mix of funky and traditional, with a nod to the spring fashion colours of vivid orange, green and pink.We had some great coverage on national TV and a good link in from Nigella Lawson's site which really boosted sales.Pics attached!

Lana,The chocolates are beautiful.The flavors sound great and the hot cross bun really provokes the image of a real one.Did you use white chocolate for the piping or something else.I love the bunnies too, where they fun to make?

Lana- These are so creative! I love the idea of the "bread and wine" chocolates...very classy designs to represent each. And they sound very delicious. Your "herd" is just adorable.

My best selling and tastiest Easter chocolates are my Easter Truffles and the Bunny Bar. The Easter Truffles feature Bittersweet Caramelized, Spring Raspberry and Merlot centers, in addition to the traditional dark, milk and white chocolate. The shells of the truffles are molded with lovely flowers colored with luster dust, great not only for Easter but any spring gifts. The Bunny Bar is a nice alternative to traditional bunnies - it's over 6 ounces and nearly 8" high, and comes in solid or crispy milk chocolate. I'm still taking orders at http://www.laurieschocolates.com

Hey man, I'm no prude...The religious value of Easter is pretty lost on me as well. I don't read the Bible or believe in Jesus. But many customers do and I respect that. Maybe you make so much $$ you don't care who you offend but I do care who I offend .

I'm making macaroons drizzled with chocolate...for Passover. This is rich, flavorful and a real treat. I drizzled "enjoy life" chocolate chips, melted. They're dairy, soy, and gluten free and as a plus-pareve. I'm experimenting so they got tested out. Any dark chocolate 70%, preferably kosher for passover, would be great as a compliment to the almond flavor. Want the recipe? Check out Recipes with Chocolate

I am scared to imagine what you will come up with for Halloween... With your imagination! And I thought green frogs with strawberry ganache (blood?) would be daring... innocent me...

My kitchen is staffed by pagan reprobates with a penchant for hard work whiskey and chluthlu. The religious value of easter is lost on us.

That's the beauty of all of us having our own businesses is that we can all do what we want product wise.Some might find it sick and others fantastic, but in all cases it makes the choc world more diverse and that's worth celebrating.For my part i think these would be great for Halloween more than Easter but well done for the idea!

I mold the two halves and base. Fill with ganache as smush together. I don't melt or fill the joint and as you can see it is very small. These are 4" eggs.

I have good luck with these, 65% Dark with white marbling. Filled with white chocolate vanilla ganache and a lemon (Limoncello) yolk. Randomly I put two yolks in a few just like getting a double yolk egg. People love them and slice them like bread for Easter desert.

well melanie it takes all kinds. we make and sell 10,000 + perfectly acceptable easter bunnies and hand painted eggs. Most of our voodoo bunnies grotesque features are being suggested by 10-12 year old kids who not only dig em, but want them extra gory. My daughter made 3 yesterday for her classmates, the kids love em.. Lighten up, life is a carnival, buy the ticket, take the ride.

We have a one shot machine and got custom moulds made for mini eggs for the one shot,then we round them off and decorate them.It's the most efficient way to produce these but of course the investment is huge

These are sick and sicker still are the people that think this is a cool way to scare kids.I can understand an inside joke in the kitchen but not to actually sell to the public.

Nobody expects the spanish inquisition!Thanks rob. We too think they are just a fine representation of the holiday...we sell them for $15.00 each and we have it down to a science. I just made a couple this morning with their eye sockets torn out and the eyeball still attached but hanging down....very graphic but oh so cute.we sold a few dozen this weekend, it was shocking, and we upset a few people too... which is half the fun.....we ship everywhere. .....for a price.1-888-899-2022

I am making a version of a mendiant- it is oval egg shaped disc with 65% Belgian Chocolate or Valrhona Ivorie White Chocolate studded with an edible viola flower, jellybeans, an almond, mac nut, blueberry, cranberry and crystallized mint. They are packaged in a clear cube with easter grass in various colors and breaks up the usual asst of bunnies. I will try to take a better picture of it today.
