Instructions

Prepare your candy mold by placing it on a sturdy baking sheet.
Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments until smooth.
Spoon melted chocolate into the egg molds, coating the sides evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to harden.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soft caramels and heavy cream until melted and smooth. Stir in chopped pecans.

Top with remaining melted chocolate to seal eggs and return to fridge for 20 minutes.
Carefully remove from molds, swirl with melted white chocolate if desired, and add sprinkles.
