Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
ΒΌ cup butter
1 tablespoon milk
8 (1 ounce) squares semi-sweet chocolate
1 tablespoon shortening

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter and milk (if needed for moisture) until blended. Shape mixture into two 1/2 pound eggs or make a bunch of smaller eggs. Freeze eggs for 1 hour.
  • While the eggs are freezing, cut semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces and place in top of double boiler with shortening. Melt over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Make sure the chocolate is tempered before dipping the eggs. This will help the chocolate set smoothly and evenly, and will prevent it from cracking.
  • To temper chocolate, melt it slowly over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring constantly. Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, stir in a small amount of unmelted chocolate until the mixture reaches a temperature of 88-90 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Dip the eggs in the chocolate one at a time, using a fork or spoon to coat them evenly. Tap the eggs gently on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
  • Place the eggs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them set completely. This may take several hours or overnight.
  • Once the eggs are set, you can decorate them with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other toppings of your choice.
  • Peanut butter Easter eggs can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter Easter eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for the Easter holiday. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create beautiful and festive eggs that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So get creative and have fun making your own peanut butter Easter eggs this year!
