Method:
Melt the dark compound and line the molds. Weight of 2 shells - 2mm thick and approximately 65-67 gm each. Melt 200gm white chocolate and add the colours (make 2 different sheets with 100gm white chocolate and 2 gm red colour and 100gm white chocolate and 2gm green colour). Thickness of all different chocolate sheets would be 1.5mm max and not more than this. Melt all the 3 chocolates and make sheets of 1.5mm thickness.
Cut all the 5 chocolate (red, green, dark, white and milk) sheets with a round mould of 2.5cm diameter and keep the discs aside. Brush gold dust and silver dust on dark chocolate discs.
To make the dark chocolate dome base -
Melt chocolate and line the silicon dome mold- weight 35gm Silicone dome mould dimension - 7.5cm diameter and 5cm height. Fill assorted toffies inside one shell and seal with the other chocolate shell by heating the edges on a hot tray and then joining both the shells to make a complete egg, wipe excess chocolate from sides so that the joining line is not visible.
For the next step to cut a hole in the chocolate dome base, heat the round cutter over a hot tray and as per the pic below make a hole in the chocolate dome with the same 2.5cm ring cutter used to cut the different coloured chocolate discs above and attach the chocolate egg made above on top of the dome in the same way by which the egg was joined.
Stick the different coloured chocolate discs on top of the chocolate egg.
