Steps:
- Place 3/4 of the milk chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted and has a temperature of 113 degrees F (46 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the remaining 1/4 of the milk chocolate. Stir well until smooth and chocolate has a temperature of 86 degrees F (30 degrees C).
- Spread 1 layer of chocolate evenly in the Easter egg mold halves using a pastry brush and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and add another layer of chocolate to each egg half. Chill for 10 minutes. Brush a third time with chocolate and chill for a final 10 minutes.
- Unmold egg halves carefully and trim the edges with a sharp knife. Brush the edges with a little melted chocolate, then carefully bring two halves together to form a single egg. Set back in the mold carefully and chill until set, 10 to 15 minutes.

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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure the chocolate is tempered before dipping the eggs. This will help the chocolate set smoothly and evenly.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dipping a spoon into it and then touching it to your bottom lip. If the chocolate feels cool and slightly firm, it is ready to use.
- If you are using a mold to shape the eggs, make sure to grease the mold lightly before pouring in the chocolate. This will help the eggs to release easily.
- If you are dipping the eggs in sprinkles or other decorations, do so immediately after dipping them in chocolate. This will help the decorations to adhere to the chocolate.
- Store the chocolate eggs in a cool, dry place. They can be stored for up to two weeks.
Conclusion:
Candy-filled chocolate Easter eggs are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for Easter celebrations. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite candies and decorations.
