# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The candy shells get slightly crisp in the oven while the chocolate inside melts into puddles
  • They look like little edible party favors on your plate
  • The dough comes together in under 20 minutes with stuff you probably have
02 -
  • Overbaked is a tragedy—pull them when edges are golden and centers still look soft
  • Room temperature ingredients actually matter here, especially the butter
  • Chop the Cadbury eggs into various sizes so you get both big chunks and tiny pieces throughout
03 -
  • Chop your Cadbury eggs right before mixing so the candy shells don't get soft
  • Rotate your baking sheets halfway through for even browning
  • Let the pans cool completely between batches or your dough will start melting before it hits the oven
