Spring Chocolate Egg Making Experience Experince

tinyB's Spring Chocolate Egg Making Experience

Every year in the weeks after Carnival celebrations, all Brazilians come together and show their appreciation for one another through the act of giving chocolate eggs. For some, it’s related to Easter, but for others, it’s just a chance to indulge in and share chocolate to those you love.

It’s also a time of year that’s especially close to my heart. I spent countless Easters helping my mom and sisters make thousands of hand-crafted chocolate eggs for our local community. It was exhausting, but at the same time amazing to share the magic of chocolate with everyone.

This year’s tinyB Spring Chocolate Egg Making Experience captures some of that magic. You’ll do everything from making your own chocolate shells to filling and decorating them and assembling your own eggs. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Activities

Chocolate Egg Creativity Challenge

Once the chocolate shells are ready, set a timer for 15 minutes. Choose any brigadeiro, toppings, props, or pantry staples to make the most creative chocolate egg. Present your creations and vote. Award categories could include: Best Overall, A for Effort, Best Sales Pitch, Most Colorful, Best Use of Tools, Most Original Flavor Combination.

Pantry Pairing

Try mixing and matching your brigadeiro centers with other pantry staples like spices, salt, cereals, cookies, candies, and nuts to see if you can come up with a fun new combination. Or perhaps you can try mixing the brigadeiro in your coffee or hot chocolate or spreading it on a cookie to see how the flavor profile changes.

Explore Taste and Texture

Foods can take on a number of different flavor and texture profiles when mixed together, such as sweet, salty, spicy, sweet & sour, fruity, classic, smooth, crunchy, and more! Choose 3 different flavor profiles and try to make 3 different brigadeiros with that in mind. What’s the most surprising flavor combination you can come up with? See how creative you can be!
