- 1 Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Mix in cream cheese and vanilla until smooth; stir in confectioners' sugar until incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until mixture is firm, about 2 hours.
- 2 Roll chilled sugar mixture into small egg shapes and arrange on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours more.
- 3 Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- 4 Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
- 5 Dip chilled eggs into melted chocolate using a fork or wooden skewer until evenly coated. Arrange dipped eggs on the prepared baking sheet; garnish with sprinkles. Set aside for chocolate to harden, about 30 minutes.
- 6 Place eggs in paper muffin liners or candy cups. Store in the refrigerator.
