Nougat-filled Marzipan Easter Eggs!

Easter is right around the corner, and there's no better way to celebrate easter, than with edible easter eggs! These easter eggs are made out of marzipan, filled with nougat and coated with dark chocolate. This is my recipe, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!

For 25 eggs, you will need:

14,11 oz (about 400 grams) of marzipan, cut into 25 pieces / slices.
2,47 oz (about 70 grams) of nougat, cut into 25 cubes.
6,35 oz (about 180 grams) of chocolate, chopped (i used dark chocolate. You might want to melt some more chocolate, depending on the quality of the chocolate). 

Quick Tip: If you want to be really creative, you can use white chocolate and food coloring to make your eggs a festive color.

- Roll each marzipan piece / slice into a ball.
- Cut the marzipan balls through the middle, so that you have 2 halves from each ball.
- Make a little indent with your finger in each half marzipan piece.
- Now you have 2 halves for each marzipan egg. Put a cube of nougat into 1 half of the marzipan. (see picture)
- Put the other marzipan piece on top, and pinch the sides (don't worry if some of the nougat is oozing out from the sides). 

- Roll the pieces of marzipan into an egg as best as you can. I just roll mine using my hands, until it looks like an egg.
- Melt the chocolate on a double boiler, or in a microwave. You can either put the eggs on a fork and pour chocolate over them, or you can roll the eggs in the chocolate using 2 forks. After you cover the eggs with chocolate, put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let them sit at room temperature for a few hours, and then put them in the fridge. 

Enjoy!
