Stiffly
turn filled egg mold upside-down on several layers on paper towel and remove
egg mold.
Using
a spoon, scoop out a half circle from one side of each sugar egg, making
sure that when the two sides are put together, the scooped out sections
will match.
If
you want your sugar egg to stand you will want to cut away the bottom end
of the sugar egg.
Let
dry overnight or until surface of sugar eggs
are
hard.
When
outer side of sugar eggs are hard, turn and scoop out inside, leaving the
shell to measure about ¼ inch thickness.

favorite
candies.
