Cabury Eggs

• 1/2 cup Lyle's golden syrup
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 drops orange blossom water (optional)
• 1 vanilla bean, seeds removed (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon yellow food coloring
• 12 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (or 1 bag bittersweet chocolate chips)

1. Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer that has been fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the golden syrup, salt, orange blossom water (if using), vanilla seeds, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium-low to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is mixed well. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the powdered sugar. Mix until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
2. Place a third of the mixture into a small bowl and add enough yellow food coloring to obtain your desired color. Cover both bowls with plastic wrap and put into the freezer for at least 15 minutes; your mixture must be very cold while you work with it.
3. When the sugar mixture is thoroughly chilled, remove from the freezer. Working quickly, take about 1/2 teaspoon of the yellow "yolk" mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
4. Once the yolks are complete, place them on a plate or a sheet tray covered with parchment and then put that back into the freezer.
5. Now, scoop out a tablespoon of your "whites" and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the white portion of the sugar mixture. If the whites are too soft to work with, place back into the freezer for a few minutes.
6. Remove the yolks from the freezer. Place a white in the palm of your hand and gently flatten it a bit. Create an indent in the center to rest the yolk in. Place the yolk in the center of the white, then cover it up and roll the white into an egg shape. If at any point the sugar mixture gets too soft, quickly put it back into the freezer.
7. Continue this process until all your eggs are complete. Return them to the freezer.
8. While your eggs are chilling, temper your chocolate or microwave it in 30 second intervals, stirring very well in between. If you use the microwave method, add a tablespoon of canola oil to the melted chocolate and stir well; this will give you a
