South African Easter Eggs

You cannot imagine my delight to find South African Easter here in Brisbane! After years of yearning for then it was fantastic to find them in our local African shop! They look like real eggs but are sugar coated chocolate eggs, plus they are not too sweet, yummy! Most of the eggs here I find just sweet and not chocolaty enough! But the biggest plus with these South African eggs is decorating them. This is what the kids and Granny and I did....using Royal Icing ( powder icing sugar with a little egg white- it goes hard if left in the air.) and Plastic Icing with the equivalent of gum tragicanth, I can't remember what they call it here, but it makes your modeling icing go hard as well. We also used jelly tots, another South African Sweetie, like jelly babies with sugar and round. Of course a round biscuit to work on, silver balls, cup cake papers for the finished product and a little imagination!  All ready as Easter gifts... enjoy.
