We did Easter eggs this morning (my family is in town)
If your LO didn't "get" the Easter egg hunt last year... put a few in his/her basket first. This way, they "get" that there is candy in them and it's worth finding.
And... when you put candy in the plastic eggs, 1-2 M&M's/jelly beans, etc... is plenty. I put 5. While it worked, we lost a few to the floor.
