Steps:

  • Melt colored melts in a heat-proof bowl (or separate bowls, if using multiple colors) according to package instructions until completely melted and smooth. Consistency should be loose but spreadable; if too thick, stir in shortening, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, until proper consistency is reached.
  • Using a food-safe paintbrush, brush insides of clean, dry 2-inch or 4-inch egg molds with light-handed, wide brushstrokes of colored melt. Refrigerate 5 minutes, or let set in a cool place about 30 minutes.
  • Melt cocoa melts in a heatproof bowl according to package instructions until completely melted and smooth. Let cool until warm and pourable but no longer hot to the touch (if too hot, it will melt the brushstroke design). Working one at a time, pour 1 to 2 tablespoons cocoa melt (depending on size of mold) into each mold, over colored brushstrokes. Use a clean food-safe brush to gently brush chocolate into an even layer over bottom and up sides of each egg until completely covered, taking extra care when brushing over colored brushstrokes. Let set, then repeat 2 to 3 more times, until you have a nice, thick layer. (This will make the eggs sturdier and keep them from breaking during assembly.)
  • Scrape edges of molds with a sharp paring knife to create clean edges; reserve any remaining chocolate to remelt for assembly. Refrigerate 5 to 10 minutes (to set and make easier to remove).
  • Meanwhile, reheat reserved chocolate until smooth and brushable. Gently pop each egg half out of its mold, then fill one half with candies and brush edges with reserved chocolate. Press second egg half at seam until connected. Repeat with remaining eggs. Scrape seams of eggs with paring knife again to create a smooth oval. Handle with care and store in a cool, dry place up to 1 week.

2 ounces yellow, blue, or pink candy melts (or combination), such as Wilton
1 to 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening, or as needed
12 ounces dark-coco candy melts, such as Wilton
Candies, such as jelly beans and milk-chocolate eggs, for filling

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the butter, vanilla, and cream cheese. Stir in confectioners' sugar to make a workable dough. For best results, use your hands for mixing.
  • Divide the dough into four parts. Leave one of the parts plain. To the second part, mix in peanut butter. Mix coconut into the third part, and cocoa powder into the last part. Roll each type of dough into egg shapes, and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate until hard, at least an hour.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick for coating, stir in a teaspoon of the shortening or oil until it thins to your desired consistency. Dip the chilled candy eggs in chocolate, and return to the waxed paper lined sheet to set. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour to harden.

Steps:

  • Wash each half of your Easter egg mould with hot soapy water and a soft sponge, then dry carefully. Using a ball of cotton wool, buff the inside of the mould. The better the shine on the mould, the better the finish on the chocolate.
  • Melt then temper the white chocolate for the brush strokes (see tip).
  • Colour half the melted white chocolate with a little of the gel if you want, then brush graphic stripes of chocolate onto the moulds. Let each colour set before you add the next (setting is really speedy if you've achieved good temper). Go over some stripes twice, to make the colours pop out. Repeat the melting and tempering process with the dark chocolate, if you like.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Melt and temper the milk chocolate. Half-fill one mould with the chocolate, then tip it this way and that to completely cover the mould.
  • Pour the excess back into the chocolate bowl, and scrape a palette knife across the mould to clean it up. Repeat with the other half of the egg. Set the moulds, flat-side down, on the lined sheet. Transfer to the fridge and leave to set for about 10 mins.
  • When the chocolate is solid, flex the moulds to gently release. Take your time - you will see the air slowly creepy its way between the plastic and the shiny, hard chocolate. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Heat a baking sheet in the oven until warm. Put the gloves on (prevents fingerprints) and pick up one side of the egg. Any messy edges can be melted flat by holding them against the tray. Next, carefully rub the flat edge of the egg on the tray to melt it a little.
  • Repeat with the second side. If you're struggling to pick up the egg from the tray, use your palette knife to help.
  • Hold the melted edges of the egg together for a few moments until they stick. Wipe away any excess, then leave the egg to set in the fridge for a few mins. The egg is now ready to give or wrap up for Easter. Store in a cool place away from fluctuating temperatures.

From allrecipes.com
  • Melt the chocolate. Melt 3/4 of the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. If using chocolate bars, chop the chocolate first to make melting easier.
  • Temper the chocolate. Using a candy thermometer, remove the chocolate from the heat once it reaches 118 degrees F for dark chocolate or 113 degrees F for milk chocolate.
  • Brush and chill. Once your chocolate is tempered, it's time to get brushing! Using a pastry brush, paint egg molds with chocolate until fully and evenly covered.
  • Unmold and trim. Carefully unmold your eggs after chilling. Take a sharp knife and clean up the edges, gently scraping away any stray bits of chocolate.
  • Brush edges with chocolate. Using leftover melted chocolate, brush the edges with melted chocolate to act as glue, sealing both halves together.
  • Seal and set. Bring the two halves together and gently press to seal. Carefully set back in the mold and chill for 10 to 15 minutes, or until set.
