Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Filling
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Crunchy peanut butter can be used for texture.
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar No substitutes unless using sugar alternatives.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter You can use coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
Chocolate Coating
  • 2 cups Chocolate Chips Milk chocolate is classic; dark chocolate can be used for an intense flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil Optional but helps to give the chocolate a nice shine.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Use your hands to scoop out a small amount of the mixture and form it into egg shapes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Pop the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to help the peanut butter eggs hold their shape.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
  6. Remove the peanut butter eggs from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coating.
  7. Place the chocolate-coated eggs back on the baking sheet to set. You can chill them for quicker results.
  8. Once the chocolate has hardened, your Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs are ready to enjoy!

Notes

Chill the filling for easier dipping, and taste the filling before shaping to adjust sweetness. For unique flavors, consider adding crushed pretzels or toasted coconut.
