Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 4 chocolate eggs

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 ounces milk chocolate, chopped (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
5 saltine crackers, finely crushed
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water). Heat the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until completely melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler. Keep the chocolate warm over low heat until ready to use.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each cup of a plastic or silicone 8-cup egg mold (2 1/2-inch round cups) and swirl to coat. Freeze until the chocolate is set and hard, about 10 minutes. Keep the chocolate warm over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, put the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, butter, crackers and salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture to each egg cup, patting down to smooth the tops. Pop 4 of the egg cups out of the mold. Coat the top of each of the remaining egg cups in the mold with 1 tablespoon chocolate. Press the removed egg cups onto the freshly coated ones to make 4 whole eggs. Freeze until set, about 10 minutes.
  • Wrap the seam of each egg with a pretty ribbon bow.

Crunchy Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs image

A delicious and easy-to-make treat for Easter or any time of year. I was surprised at how quickly these came together. Use tinted coconut for "nests" for your eggs if desired. Do not use a lowfat or generic brand of peanut butter for this recipe. I recommend Jif's Extra Crunchy. I also recommend you use a very good quality chocolate chip.

Tips:

  • Make sure that the peanut butter is smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, it will be difficult to spread.
  • Chill the eggs before dipping them in the chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set more quickly and will prevent it from becoming too runny.
  • If you are having trouble getting the chocolate to stick to the eggs, you can try using a toothpick to spread it around.
  • Be patient! It takes time to make these eggs, but they are definitely worth the effort.

Conclusion:

Chocolate peanut butter eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chocolate and peanut butter. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and festive treat that everyone will love.
