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.

- In a small microwave-safe bowl, carefully melt the chocolate candy melts in the microwave for 30 seconds, and then in increments of 15 seconds, stirring between each cycle. Stop when most of the candy is melted and let the bowl sit for a couple of minutes; the heat of the bowl will continue to melt the candy. Add 1 teaspoon shortening and stir well. If the chocolate isn’t completely melted, return to the microwave for an additional 15 seconds.
- Working with one mold at a time, put approximately 2 tablespoons of melted candy in the bottom of the mold and tilt the mold to roll the candy around the sides. Coax it along with the back of a spoon if necessary. Make sure the entire mold is covered with a thin layer, all the way up to the top of the mold, and try to keep it from pooling at the bottom. If it does, remove a little with the spoon.
- Repeat until you’ve coated 10 molds, and place the mold in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until the candy is firm.
- Using the instructions in #1, melt the white candy melts, adding 1 teaspoon of shortening. Let it cool until just barely warm but still fluid, and add a layer on top of the first layer. You may not need quite as much candy for this layer. Work quickly so the first layer doesn’t have a chance to melt. Again, make sure you bring the white layer all the way to the top of the mold, using the back of a spoon if necessary.

- 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.
