Making prefilled Easter eggs for children, friends, and neighbors can be so much fun! We’ll show you how to make these easy confetti filled chocolate eggs in just a few minutes. And we trust the memories you make from creating them and enjoying them together will be fantastic!
Filled Easter Eggs
What are some of the Easter traditions that you and your family have enjoyed together? When we were kids, our family used to enjoy an Easter egg hunt. All of the grandmas and the aunts would prepare prefilled Easter eggs and hide them around the yard for all of the kids to find. It was so much fun. And now, we continue that tradition for our children.
Filled Plastic Easter Eggs
To make these prefilled Easter eggs with chocolate, you’re going to need some plastic easter eggs. We’ll use these as our molds. There’s no need to purchase a separate candy mold for this recipe. To prepare your plastic Easter eggs, you’ll want to wash them thoroughly with soap and water and dry them before you begin.
Bulk Easter Eggs
Our prefilled chocolate Easter eggs are easy to make, but they’re not likely the kind that you’re going to want to make a whole bunch of them like you would for a bulk batch, unless you’ve got some help.
Candy Filled Easter Eggs
You’ll want to use candy that is small enough to fit through a hole that you’ll cut in the tip of your egg. Our favorite kinds of candy to use inside our edible chocolate eggs are sprinkles and M&Ms. There is no need to use candy that is individually wrapped inside your egg, because if you did it would make it, so it’s not fully edible. Instead, use candy that is unwrapped so that it makes the whole thing edible. Here are some other candy possibilities that you might like to try:
M&Ms
Skittles
Sprinkles
Pop Rocks
Spree
Mini peanut butter cups
Chopped nuts
Sweetened shredded coconut
Nerds
Candy Easter eggs
Colored mini marshmallows
Jellybeans
Reese’s pieces
Crushed toffee pieces

Candy and Toy Filled Plastic Easter Eggs
If using a combination of toys and candy in your prefilled Easter eggs, we recommend making sure each piece that is being added inside your Easter egg is individually wrapped.
I remember as a kid we had one aunt that would always prefill her eggs with both candy and money. She used unwrapped, individual jellybeans as well as loose change all together in her eggs. Oh dear! It grossed me out to say the least. So, consider this your public service announcement to make sure your candy is individually wrapped if you’re placing it inside a non-edible plastic egg.

And part of the fun is you get to be creative and make them however you wish.
