Abstract: A hollow chocolate article such as an Easter egg is formed by inverting a molded chocolate shell upon another shell in respective molds, the lower shell having been previously formed with an inner coating layer e.g., of chocolate, while the inverted upper shell is provided with an inner coating layer which is still in a fluid state when the shells are superimposed, so that some of the material of the inverted inner layer flows on to and is welded to the peripheral surface of the previously formed inner layer of the lower shell, to form an internal seam without discoloration.
