To coat, chop dark chocolate and melt about two thirds over a hot water bath. Remove from heat, stir in the remaining chocolate and let it melt. Repeat with white chocolate. Dip half of the truffle eggs in each chocolate using a praliné fork, set on parchment paper to firm up. For decoration, melt both couvertures again if needed, cool until sprayable, fill squeeze bags and decorate the eggs with fine lines and dots as desired. Let dry and set.
