Easter Chocolate eggs (Oeufs de paque a la chocolat)

These eggs are easy and delicious and are filling with a chocolate cream (like nutella cream) so you can serve on a egg cup and eat with a little teaspoon:)
I garnish with some little flowers and   colorful sugar sprinkles

Happy Easter to all of you !
