Melt dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth.

Brush melted dark chocolate inside egg molds using a pastry brush.

Chill molds in the refrigerator until chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes.

Repeat the process with milk chocolate, brushing over the dark layer.

Chill again until set, about 15 minutes more.

Prepare the filling by whipping cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Fold in melted white chocolate until well combined.

Remove chocolate shells from molds carefully, ensuring they hold their shape.

Fill each chocolate shell with the cream mixture, leaving some space at the top.

Melt remaining chocolate and seal the tops of the filled eggs with it.

Chill the eggs until the chocolate seal is set, about 10 minutes.

Decorate the eggs with edible glitter and candy decorations as desired.

Serve the chocolate eggs on a decorative platter for a festive touch.
