Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (or shortening)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar until a thick, moldable dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoons of the mixture, roll into oval shapes, and flatten slightly to resemble eggs.
- Place shaped eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15–20 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip chilled peanut butter eggs in melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place coated eggs back on the parchment paper and decorate if desired.
- Chill until chocolate is set and store as directed.
Notes
- Use commercial peanut butter for best texture (avoid natural varieties).
- Let shaped eggs sit out for a minute before dipping to prevent chocolate cracking.
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Customize with white or dark chocolate, or add-ins like coconut or crushed cookies.
