Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marshmallow Filling

In a mixing bowl using a stand or hand mixer, combine the marshmallow fluff, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Mix until well combined and smooth.

Step 2: Melt the Candy Melts

In three separate microwave-safe bowls, melt each color of candy melts (yellow, pink, blue) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Step 3: Decorate the Molds

Drizzle each color of melted candy melts into the silicone egg molds, creating colorful swirls and patterns.

Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Shell

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt half of the chocolate almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Spoon the melted chocolate into the silicone molds, spreading it around the edges to create a shell.
Set the molds upside down on a cooling rack to allow any excess chocolate to drip out and set.

Step 5: Fill the Eggs

Divide the marshmallow mixture evenly among the egg molds, filling each shell.

Step 6: Seal the Eggs

Melt the remaining chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the marshmallow filling, filling the rest of the molds and sealing the eggs.
Set the molds aside to set, or place them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to speed up the setting process.

Step 7: Remove from Molds

Carefully remove the marshmallow eggs from the silicone molds.

Step 8: Serve

Arrange the eggs on a platter and serve.
