Searching for a fun, original way to break away from the classic candy-filled Easter egg? Well, look no further. Photojojo shows us how to bring your best selfie game to the Easter season with this adorable DIY.

What came first? The chicken or the chocolate egg? We don't know, but we do know what came next. You!

Surprise a friend as they bite into an Easter egg by hiding a photo on the inside. All you need for this surprise are some chocolate eggs, a little chocolate surgery, and a photo of yourself in your Easter best. Put on those bunny ears and hop this way for chocolate surprise fun times.

Ingredients:

Chocolate Easter eggs
Extra chocolate, for melting
Camera or camera phone and printer
A sharp non-serrated knife
A cup of boiling water

Step 1: Selfie

Take some silly photos of yo'self looking bunny-tastic* then print. Write a little message too for extra fun times.

*Just a suggestion, but we strongly advise you wear bunny ears.

Step 2: Slice

Warm the blade of your knife up by dipping it in a cup of boiling water.

VERY carefully, slice the chocolate eggs in half right on the seam around the middle.

Step 3: Melt

In the microwave or in a double boiler, melt the extra chocolate and set aside.

Step 4: Photo

Place your photo in one half of the egg.

Step 5: Dip

Dip the rim of the other half into the melted chocolate you prepared earlier, then press the two halves together to close up the egg again. Surgery completed.

Step 6: Crack

Watch your friends' faces as they crack open their egg to find . . . you!

Taking It Further

Hide an egg containing your hidden photo into a larger egg. Double surprise.
Wrap eggs with a photo of your face.
Why limit yourself to eggs only? Hide your photo inside a chocolate bunny!
Cut up a larger photo and add the pieces into multiple eggs. Easter egg photo hunt!
Fill your chocolaty treat with a teeny gift. Tiny Phone Lenses perhaps?
