  • - [Cameraman] Should be fine.

  • - All right.

  • Oh no.

  • (gasps)

  • (soft jazzy music)

  • Hey, guys, it's Inga.

  • You know how we all have our favorite childhood snacks?

  • Wouldn't it be so fun if we had one

  • that was grown-up size now that we're older and bigger?

  • With Easter coming up, I was thinking

  • it would be such a fun idea to make giant-sized Kinder Eggs.

  • It's just a cut little treat

  • that I had when I was a kid.

  • As you guys know, I mainly just do food stuff.

  • In order to replicate this

  • and really make it look like the real thing,

  • I enlisted some help,

  • and this is where Tarn--

  • - Hi.

  • - Tarn is on the Nifty team.

  • She is amazing at arts and crafts,

  • and just anything crafty.

  • - This is so much expectation.

  • - I have so much faith in you.

  • I think we can make this happen.

  • What do you say, giant Kinder Egg?

  • - Let's do it.

  • - Yes.

  • Let's start with making the giant chocolate egg.

  • (shimmery music)

  • (lively drum music)

  • For the Kinder Egg, we're gonna do,

  • is actually the Kinder Surprise,

  • which is the international version.

  • Comes in an egg with a little capsule,

  • holding the toy inside.

  • We couldn't find it because we're in America

  • where the actual Kinder Surprise is banned.

  • What I need to do is to make a chocolate egg

  • that has white chocolate on the inside,

  • and then put a toy in it.

  • I started looking up egg molds on the internet,

  • and I found a bunch,

  • but they weren't really that big,

  • until I found this place called Li-Lac Chocolates

  • in one of the oldest chocolate shops in Manhattan.

  • They have a giant, like, actual giant chocolate egg.

  • I'm gonna go to their shop,

  • and make the chocolate egg with them.

  • We are here at Li-Lac Chocolates.

  • I'm here with master chocolatier Anwar.

  • He's been doing this for--

  • - For 30 years.

  • - I've been doing this for, like, 30 seconds.

  • You said you would help me

  • with making this giant Kinder Egg.

  • - First, we have to make the egg shell.

  • - For reference, this is the giant egg mold.

  • - We make it in dark chocolate.

  • After we take the shell out,

  • we can line it up with white chocolate inside.

  • - We said dark chocolate because,

  • even though Kinder Egg is normally milk chocolate,

  • we're doing this for grownups,

  • and I prefer dark chocolate,

  • so we're gonna go with dark.

  • - All right. - Let's do it.

  • - Now we can fill it up with chocolate.

  • Takes about 20 pounds of chocolate.

  • - [Inga] 20 pounds?

  • - About.

  • Somewhere between 15.

  • Put it together.

  • - How did you know that there was 20 pounds in here?

  • Do you just feel it?

  • You know?

  • Oh my god.

  • - This is what we do now.

  • - First coating.

  • - Every time you turn it around,

  • you get a little time.

  • We put it in the fridge.

  • We wait until it's cool.

  • Now we need to cut it

  • to make sure that it comes out two pieces.

  • - Back in the fridge.

  • - See?

  • Start peeling off.

  • - Now we just need 30 minutes, right,

  • it needs to sit here?

  • About 30 minutes?

  • (laughs)

  • It's so big.

  • This is how big it is.

  • It's, like, half of my body.

  • Wow.

  • - Now we can pour the white chocolate inside.

  • You can go as thick as you want.

  • Then we turn it out like this.

  • What you do, it's required by hand.

  • - [Inga] With your hand?

  • - Yeah, go like this.

  • - Business time.

  • (giggles)

  • This is a lot of chocolate.

  • Swirl it first.

  • (laughs)

  • Here we go.

  • Oh, it's so warm.

  • No waste.

  • - Now, we put it in the fridge, five minutes maybe,

  • 10 minutes at the most.

  • - Now we wait.

  • - 10 minutes.

  • - 10 minutes.

  • 10?

  • 10.

  • Excited.

  • (soft bossa nova music)

  • Okay, how's this for a massive Kinder Egg?

  • - Make sure those edges are straight

  • so we can put it together.

  • Little by little, don't break it.

  • Now, we're gonna put the toy.

  • - I couldn't find a giant capsule.

  • You know how they do it in Kinder Eggs?

  • That's why I used tissue paper.

  • Please forgive me.

  • Tarn will be revealing this later.

  • Can you tell what it is?

  • - [Anwar] We're not gonna open it again.

  • - No.

  • - [Anwar] Right?

  • - Yeah, until the end of the video.

  • We're not gonna open it again.

  • This is the moment.

  • This is it.

  • The doors will be sealed.

  • - We can put some chocolate.

  • We can glue it together.

  • You have to be a little quick because,

  • otherwise, the chocolate will dry,

  • and it won't stick together.

  • - Really quick?

  • Is that too much?

  • - [Anwar] Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

  • - [Inga] Why am I so nervous?

  • - No, perfect, no, you're doing well.

  • Let me do this part.

  • (Inga groans)

  • Clip it?

  • - Now we clamp it.

  • Here, there we go.

  • A few minutes.

  • - A few minutes?

  • It's like a dragon's egg.

  • This is even bigger than I imagined.

  • Ooh.

  • I'm scared, I don't want to break it.

  • We came so far.

  • - There we go.

  • - Oh my god.

  • This is an egg makeover.

  • All right, well, this is the giant Kinder Egg.

  • It's done.

  • The challenge is to bring it back safe and sound,

  • and not crack it.

  • Let's see if we can make that happen.

  • Here we go.

  • Wait, I'm scared.

  • Thank you.

  • (pants)

  • (laughs)

  • It's a hollow egg.

  • - But still pretty heavy.

  • - Yeah, it's 20-something pounds.

  • - [Woman] Oh my god.

  • (dramatic orchestral music)

  • (Inga laughs)

  • - Tarn.

  • - [Tarn] No.

  • - [Inga] Look at Tarn's face.

  • - No.

  • Do you want to see the basket I prepared?

  • - I'll hand it off to you now.

  • You got it.

  • (shimmery music)

  • (intense drum music)

  • - Egg is here, and when I signed up for this,

  • I was not expecting it to be this big.

  • You know, I was gonna shoot

  • a really cute top down shot,

  • but this is all you can see.

  • Hi.

  • I think the first thing we should do is find out

  • how much foil we'll need to--

  • (people chatter)

  • Guys.

  • Wait, Cana and Ashley.

  • You guys.

  • Oh no.

  • (gasps)

  • Oh.

  • Oh.

  • Oh, sh--

  • (laughs)

  • What if I still wrap it up, and she doesn't know?

  • Do you think we can put it back together?

  • (soft jazzy music)

  • - [Ashley] It's fine, don't worry.

  • We can fix that, don't worry.

  • - Oh no.

  • (pants)

  • Okay.

  • I think this is the bottom.

  • This is the edge.

  • This, this, this.

  • I don't even know what goes where.

  • We should turn off the lights,

  • work on this off camera.

  • - Inga doesn't know.

  • - No.

  • (Ashley laughs)

  • - Holy shit, what happened?

  • Tape is a good start.

  • It's tough unless you have the OG mold.

  • (rock music)

  • It's really good chocolate.

  • - [Anwar] Hello.

  • - Hi.

  • We have a little bit of an accident.

  • - [Anwar] It's broken?

  • Yeah, just a little crack.

  • Would it possible to borrow the mold from you?

  • That's really sad.

  • We tried.

  • We got the whole village in here.

  • What I decided was, tin foil and imagination.

  • Whatever was in that egg,

  • I still don't know what it is,

  • and I've started just wrapping it

  • in bit and pieces of tin foil

  • until I think I've achieved the desired egg shape.

  • Just start a fun montage

  • of me creating this egg.

  • Wrap some fabric over it.

  • Have you guys ever watched any Buzzfeed video

  • where they try, and they fail, and they just stop.

  • Should we be the first one?

  • Everyone in the office is aware

  • that the egg has been broken except for Inga.

  • Here it is.

  • Not the egg.

  • I'm actually going to come clean to her.

  • I feel like this was our first big collaboration,

  • and we've been talking about this.

  • I think she's gonna be really disappointed.

  • I hope she doesn't cry.

  • Oh no.

  • (laughs)

  • Because I did.

  • I'm gonna go bring her in now.

  • Go bring in Inga.

  • - [Man] I'll get her, I'll get her.

  • - Hi.

  • This was something I tried to do.

  • This is what we've been hiding from you.

  • - I'm scared.

  • Oh no.

  • Oh no, Tarn.

  • (Tarn sobs)

  • Is there still an egg in here?

  • Is this fake?

  • - It's just a bunch of towels.

  • - Oh no.

  • - I put the egg on the table.

  • - And it fell off the table?

  • - It rolled off the table.

  • There, that's what happened.

  • It broke pretty much immediately when I started shooting.

  • Um.

  • (laughs)

  • - Is it just towels?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Wait, this is the egg?

  • All of it?

  • - No, there's some in there.

  • - Oh my god, it broke into tiny pieces?

  • Uh.

  • - Are you disappointed in me?

  • - All right, round two, second egg.

  • Let's go.

  • - Yep.

  • I don't trust myself,

  • so I'm gonna let Inga put the eggs away.

  • (chocolate cracks)

  • - Oh my god. - Oh my god.

  • It actually cracked, guys.

  • (both gasp)

  • - This is pretty much like what happened last time.

  • - Let's carry it back into the--

  • We're not gonna take it out of the plastic wrap.

  • - Okay, this is the last layer of protection.

  • - I'm gonna be here, I'll be here.

  • - No pressure.

  • We have the egg back.

  • It already started cracking,

  • so we're in a bit of a time crunch.

  • What I'm gonna try to do now is create

  • this giant piece of wrapping paper

  • that we can then put on the egg.

  • We need 35 by 35 inches of foil

  • to cover the entire egg.

  • Anything between 35 to 40 inches will probably be safer.

  • That should be large enough to cover that egg.

  • We're gonna have to prime the surface.

  • If you just painted straight onto foil,

  • it just smudges.

  • If you put a little bit of a priming paint,

  • it'll actually stick a little more.

  • We've applied the spray paint,

  • and we're gonna start drawing.

  • Printed out a template,

  • printed out even more templates.

  • I'm using a paint mark.

  • Two, three, four, five, six, seven.

  • That's pretty good.

  • There, there we go.

  • I'm just gonna leave it empty for now.

  • Boom, done with the first part of it.

  • Time for painting.

  • We're just gonna use normal acrylic paint for this step.

  • One trick I learned is that,

  • if you put a little bit of dish soap into the paint,

  • the paint will actually come out looking

  • a little more vibrant.

  • Get started.

  • Pretty much done painting.

  • Let this completely dry,

  • and then start painting in the actual lettering,

  • and then we'll wrap the egg.

  • Yay.

  • It's getting there now.

  • I'm using these paint markers.

  • I feel like it might actually look better on white.

  • I've gone in and painted all the letters white.

  • So much better.

  • - Oh, this looks so good.

  • It looks so much like the original.

  • - I think, then, we should go ahead and wrap it.

  • We'll call Inga over.

  • We're gonna wrap it,

  • and this video will be over.

  • Let's do it.

  • All right.

  • We should probably wrap the real egg

  • in a clean piece of foil first.

  • Oh, I can't believe it.

  • It's a thing.

  • You want to hold it like that,

  • and I should bring the real thing?

  • - Okay, I'll hold it, I'll hold it.

  • I'll keep it safe.

  • (intense drum music)

  • (whimsical orchestral music)

  • (sings)

  • - Pretty big.

  • - That looks so goo from the front.

  • - It's sitting on its own.

  • Did you realize that?

  • Started off the day as people

  • who have never made a giant Kinder Egg,

  • and we're ending the day as people who have made it.

  • - We are just so glad

  • we were able to get to this point.

  • It took two eggs, a lot of tears,

  • a lot of sweat, a lot of time.

  • Tarn, you are amazing.

  • You are a wizard.

  • - Thank you.

  • - We're gonna open this.

  • We can just gently pry this open.

  • Look at this.

  • This is the truth.

  • (Tarn gasps)

  • Happy Easter.

  • Let us know what else you want us to make,

  • any childhood snacks you want, but big.

  • - But not too big, 'cause that was stressful.

  • Are we gonna eat it?

  • - Yeah, let's eat it.

  • Is that too small?

  • - Is that too small?

  • (chocolate clicks)

  • Everyone eat some chocolate.

  • This is really good.

  • - Yeah, it's cool. - It's so big.

- [Cameraman] Should be fine.
