Golden chocolate Easter eggs - beautiful but hard

How To Make Golden Chocolate Easter Eggs
Way too much work for a fumble-fingers like me -- you actually have to prick both ends, break the yolks with a needle and blow out the liquids, then refill them with melted chocolate chips through the tiny holes. I can see myself surrounded by a dozen broken eggshells. Or, if I got that far, chocolate covered with a skin of left-behind egg white.
But they certainly are beautiful.

Okay, I'm thinking why not a mold instead, and 1/1000 the work, but that's just me.

I think they're using the eggshell as a barrier between the chocolate and the craft gold. You might be able to mold an egg, then wrap it in a sheet of edible gold leaf. Not sure it's worth it, though.
