Kittencal's Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Eggs

"I have listed the cereal as optional if you like a bit of a crunch then add it in, you can make these any size that you like so the servings is only estimated, these make a great candy to serve on a tray, for a nice presentation place the eggs into paper muffin liners, after the chocolate is hard drizzle/decorate with colored icing from my recipe#261889 --- don't wait for easter to make these they are great at anytime--- these are very good!"
