Method
 

Instructions
  1. Crush the graham crackers in a resealable bag until fine crumbs form, then transfer to a mixing bowl. Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, softened butter, and salt. Mix until smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Clean and dry silicone egg molds thoroughly and set on a flat surface.
  3. Melt colored candy coating melts according to package instructions and create designs inside the molds. Refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes to set.
  4. Melt chocolate candy coating melts, brush into each mold ensuring it covers decorations. Refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes until hard.
  5. Remove molds from fridge and fill each hardened shell with peanut butter filling, smoothing it level with the mold top.
  6. Re-melt remaining chocolate coating and spoon a layer over the filling to seal. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until set.
  7. Gently flex the molds to remove the eggs. Serve at room temperature to showcase vibrant decorations.
