For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or a blend of dark and semisweet. For white chocolate eggs, use white chocolate. Experiment with different flavor combinations, such as adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or sprinkles to the coatings. To create decorative eggs, drizzle melted white chocolate or colored candy melts over the hardened chocolate eggs. Ensure the cream cheese and butter are properly softened to avoid lumps in the dough.
