These cute and easy mini egg chicks make a great Easter project for kids! Serve them up for a fun Easter treat or use them to decorate Easter cakes and bakes!
Today I have a super easy Easter treat tutorial for you. These edible chicks are so easy to make and they're perfect for giving as homemade Easter gifts or for using to decorate your Easter bakes.
All you need for these cute chick mini eggs are plain mini eggs of any type (I used white chocolate mini eggs but milk chocolate mini eggs would also work) and some edible marker pens, or cake pens as they are sometimes known.
To make the mini egg chicks, you simply need to draw chick faces on to your mini eggs - that's it! Once you've made your chicks, you can eat them as they are, pop them in bags to give as gifts or use them to decorate your Easter cakes and bakes - you'll find lots of suggestions for using them further down this post.
Easy Mini Egg Chicks
Ingredients:
- 240g bag white chocolate mini eggs
- black, orange and yellow edible marker pens
Method:
Pour the mini eggs into a bowl or plate.
Using the edible marker pens, draw two eyes and a beak on the side of a mini egg. I used a black pen for the eyes and alternated between yellow and orange for the beaks.
Pop the finished mini egg chick into a new bowl and repeat until you have as many chicks as you need.
Enjoy!
Serving suggestions for mini egg chicks:
- Pop the egg chicks into cellophane bags and tie with a pretty ribbon to give as Easter gifts or favours.
- Fill a clean, empty glass jar with mini egg chicks and other Easter treats, then cover the lid with a circle of pretty material and tie in place with string or ribbon for an extra special Easter gift.
- Get your kids making cute Easter Bunny Snack Cups and fill them with chick mini eggs!
- Fill small bowls with your egg chicks and place them on your Easter table for a fun treat everyone will enjoy.
- Create a whole platter of fun Easter treats - our Marshmallow Bunnies, Strawberry Carrots and Easter Egg Cookies would all go perfectly with these cute chick eggs!
- Fill plastic Easter eggs with mini egg chicks and hide them around the house or garden for a cute Easter egg hunt.
