Ingredients

Dust hands with cornstarch.
Spoon marshmallow out of pan and form eggs.
Refrigerate for easier handling.
2 Egg whites; room temperature
1/4 Teaspoon Cream of tartar

Directions

1
In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt milk chocolate until smooth and glossy, stirring occasionally.
2
Prepare marshmallow filling by heating sugar, corn syrup, and water to a soft-ball stage, then folding into whipped egg whites and cream of tartar mixture.
3
Dust your hands generously with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
4
Spoon small portions of the marshmallow mixture and shape them into oval egg forms using your dusted hands.
5
Place the formed marshmallow eggs on a sheet of waxed paper and let them dry for 30 minutes to form a slight crust.
6
Gently brush off any excess cornstarch from the marshmallow eggs with a dry pastry brush.
7
Dip each egg into the melted milk chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, and let excess drip off.
8
Place the chocolate-covered eggs back on the waxed paper to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
9
Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for easier handling and longer shelf life.
