Easter eggs are not haram in itself. Actions are based upon intentions if your intention is to celebrate easter then eating easter eggs is haram . But if you just want to eat the chocolate thats fine . Its like buying a car if your intention is to to show off to people that u have alot of money thats haram but the car itself is not haram. If your intention is not to show off then its not haram. Since choclates in itself is not haram therefore easter eggs are allowed to eat providing your intention is not to celebrate easter.

Actions are based upon intentions according to the Islamic sources.

as @Foo.mp3 said, the easter eggs represent the tomb from where our Lord Jesus has arisen from. Some people use color eggs, others use chocolate eggs, and there is bunny decorations, this is all about tradition and decorations. In Christmas, Santa decorations are used, because the saint Santa used to distribute gifts for children in every Christmas in the past so they made some decorations about him

What about the bunnies?

It's just a tradition, in the past is when the first story about a rabbit laying eggs and hiding them in a garden was published, it's originated from German lutherans and then after that, people started decorating bunnies in Easter
