Keeping things simple is definitely not a norm for me. However, sometimes, if not more than often, keeping it simple is the best way to go! I made these adorable white chocolate eggs last Easter, and considering the season, they popped into mind again. Now I have to say this is definitely not an original idea by me, but I have no idea who to give the credit to for coming up with such a genius, quick and adorable treat.

Preparing these white chocolate treats requires about 2 minutes and another 10 minutes in the fridge to settle prior serving! (Allowing them to set for a longer period in the cold, hours - overnight, is always better, but they will be good to eat in a short time also.) All you need is a microwave, parchment paper, a spoon, white chocolate and relatively large orange or yellow chocolate coated candy.

Just keep in mind that unless you temper the chocolate, they will melt quite a lot quicker than if tempered. Tempering chocolate is not nearly as difficult as a lot of beginner bakers fear, but sometimes I too cut corners - especially if I know the treats will be devoured in a matter of minutes anyway!

When I say super easy, these were made by my five-year-old!


Melt the white chocolate, spoon puddles onto the parchment paper, add your "yolk" and place them in the fridge to set. And voila, you have yourself an adorable and delicious treat bound to bring a smile on everyone's face! Enjoy!

I was initially bilingual, with my mother always speaking Finnish and my father Swedish to me. Just before I turned five, in the beginning of September 1988, my family moved to Saudi Arabia, where my sister and I started Kindergarten at an international school. Around Christmas, I got a new teacher, who didn’t realize I wasn’t a native English speaker. In three months, I had learned to read, write and speak a foreign language on a native level. The first days were challenging, I still remember once crying all day at school, because I didn’t know how to ask to go to the bathroom, and I didn’t dare leave the classroom without permission. End result I wet myself in class and my teacher felt horrible for not realizing that was the reason for my crying. Maybe that’s why one of the first things I...

Defining happiness

You can always read the post here, but for more and updated posts, come join me at my new site!  I was watching the news the other day, and there was a short clip on a new art exhibition by a British artist, Grayson Perry. His art may not be directly down my alley, but what I fell in love with was his definition of happiness: “Happiness is not ecstasy, and a lot of people get them muddled up. Happiness is sort of bumping along ok, having a drink on a Friday night, walking a dog, watching the TV with your family. That’s happiness. It’s not swimming with dolphins. So I’m happy.” I think he makes a great point. To be happy, your life doesn’t need to be overflowing with constant extreme experiences and excitement, it’s so much easier than that. Learning to appreciate and enjoy the small things, the regular things, the “boring” things. Life is also supposed to surprise you, to challenge you and give yo...
