Searching for a fun, original way to break away from the classic candy-filled Easter egg? Well, look no further. Photojojo [1] shows us how to bring your best selfie game to the Easter season with this adorable DIY [2].
What came first? The chicken or the chocolate egg? We don't know, but we do know what came next. You!
Surprise a friend as they bite into an Easter egg by hiding a photo on the inside. All you need for this surprise are some chocolate eggs, a little chocolate surgery, and a photo of yourself in your Easter best. Put on those bunny ears and hop this way for chocolate surprise fun times.
Ingredients:
- Chocolate Easter eggs
- Extra chocolate, for melting
- Camera or camera phone and printer
- A sharp non-serrated knife
- A cup of boiling water
Step 1: Selfie
Take some silly photos of yo'self looking bunny-tastic* then print. Write a little message too for extra fun times.
*Just a suggestion, but we strongly advise you wear bunny ears.
Step 2: Slice
Warm the blade of your knife up by dipping it in a cup of boiling water.
VERY carefully, slice the chocolate eggs in half right on the seam around the middle.
Step 3: Melt
In the microwave or in a double boiler, melt the extra chocolate and set aside.
Step 4: Photo
Place your photo in one half of the egg.
Step 5: Dip
Dip the rim of the other half into the melted chocolate you prepared earlier, then press the two halves together to close up the egg again. Surgery completed.
Step 6: Crack
Watch your friends' faces as they crack open their egg to find . . . you!
Taking It Further
- Hide an egg containing your hidden photo into a larger egg. Double surprise.
- Wrap eggs with a photo of your face.
- Why limit yourself to eggs only? Hide your photo inside a chocolate bunny!
- Cut up a larger photo and add the pieces into multiple eggs. Easter egg photo hunt!
- Fill your chocolaty treat with a teeny gift. Tiny Phone Lenses [3] perhaps?
