Provided by Ashley Baron Rodriguez

Categories     Desserts     Chocolate Dessert Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons softened butter
2 tablespoons corn syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
yellow food coloring
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 (10 ounce) package marshmallows
½ cup peanut butter
6 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Beat confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, pinch salt, and yellow food coloring together in a bowl until smooth, adding food coloring as necessary until your desired "yolk" color is reached. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes.
  • Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium-high heat until butter turns golden and has a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, add marshmallows and peanut butter, and cook and stir until marshmallows and peanut butter are melted and mixture is well-combined. Remove from heat.
  • Stir rice cereal and kosher salt into marshmallow mixture until cereal treat mixture is well-combined. Cool to room temperature.
  • Roll "yolk" mixture into gumball-size balls, about 1/2 teaspoon "yolk" mixture per ball. Scoop about 1/3 cup cereal treat mixture into your hand and form it into a 2-inch round; press an indentation into the center with your finger and place 1 "yolk" in the indentation. Wrap the cereal treat around the "yolk" and squeeze firmly to form an egg shape. Repeat with remaining cereal treat mixture and "yolks." Set completed "eggs" on a plate and refrigerate until firmed, at least 15 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Use 2 forks to dip each cereal "egg" into chocolate to coat completely. Place finished eggs on a plate and refrigerate until chocolate sets, at least 15 minutes.

PEANUT BUTTER EASTER EGGS

My Mom made these chocolate-dipped peanut butter eggs for many years. She would put our names on them in frosting and decorate with bunnies and flowers. They bring back wonderful memories.

Provided by Valerie Cain Cuff

Categories     Desserts     Candy Recipes     Chocolate Candy Recipes

Time 15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
¼ 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. Stick a long-tined fork in top of each peanut butter egg, dip it in melted chocolate to cover then drain on waxed paper. When the eggs are cooled and set, decorate the eggs to suit your fancy.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. If you're using semisweet chocolate, you can add a little bit of sugar to the peanut butter mixture to balance out the bitterness.
  • Make sure the peanut butter is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, it will be difficult to spread.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it's ready to use.
  • Be careful not to overmix the chocolate and peanut butter mixture. Overmixing can cause the chocolate to seize up and become grainy.
  • If you're having trouble getting the chocolate to coat the eggs evenly, you can try dipping them in the chocolate twice.
  • Store the peanut butter eggs in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of peanut butter eggs that will be sure to impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
