coating peanut butter eggs

I make A LOT of peanut butter and coconut cream eggs this time of year and it takes me so long to coat them with chocolate. I did each one in and wait for it to stop dripping, place it on the pan and on to the next one. Does anything have an easier way to do this without wasting chocolate?

I've been making Butter Cremes and Peanut Butter Cremes for 30 yrs.  Every year, I say I'm going hand over the torch to my sister-in-law, but I'm just a glutton for punishment!  I microwave my chocolate in a pyrex bowl.  I drop a piece of (frozen) candy in the chocolate, upside down.  With a fork, I flip it over to coat it, then tap it on the edge of the bowl and drag it on the edge, to scrap off the excess.  Then I use one of those turkey "needles" (used to lace up a turkey), and push it off the fork with that.  I dipped 23 dozen last week.  I didn't time myself, but I didn't take too long, cause my feet didn't hurt by the time I was done! (if I'm on my feet too long, in one spot, I pay for it)

Hope this helps!

That's the way I've been doing it but I melt my chocolate in a double boiler. I've only been making them for a couple years and I thought someone might have a faster way. thanks.
