- Fill the molds: Pour melted chocolate into egg-shaped silicone molds, tilting to coat the sides evenly.

- Nut Butter: Mix nut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil until creamy.
- Coconut Cream: Blend shredded coconut with condensed milk and vanilla until combined.
3. Assemble the Eggs

4. Decorate & Serve
- Carefully remove the chocolate eggs from the molds.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with crisped pearls or edible glitter.
