Description

Homemade peanut butter treats coated in rich chocolate, perfect for Easter! Sweet, nutty, and festive, they’re easy to make and delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 oz) package confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp milk (as needed)
  • 8 (1 oz) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tbsp shortening

Instructions

  • Make the filling: Beat confectioners’ sugar, peanut butter, and softened butter until smooth. Add milk gradually if needed for a workable consistency.
  • Shape the eggs: Divide the mixture in half, shape into egg forms, and place on a wax paper-lined plate. Freeze for 1 hour until firm.
  • Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt chocolate and shortening, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • Coat the eggs: Dip each peanut butter egg into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on wax paper.
  • Chill: Refrigerate until the chocolate sets. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use white or milk chocolate for variety.
  • Drizzle with contrasting chocolate for a decorative touch.
