Peanut Butter Eggs

Peanut Butter Eggs

 

With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you’ll have a batch of delightful treats ready to enjoy.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 20 eggs 1x

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, salt, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition, until a dough forms.
  2. Shape the Eggs: Scoop and shape the dough into egg-like ovals, about 1-2 inches in size. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler or microwave, melt the milk chocolate chips and shortening together, stirring frequently until smooth.
  4. Coat the Eggs: Using a fork, dip each chilled peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and return the coated eggs to the parchment paper.
  5. Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate the coated eggs for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
  6. Store and Serve: Store the peanut butter eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy. These treats can be served chilled or at room temperature.
