Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Mixture
  • 1 cup peanut butter Creamy or chunky for texture.
  • 1/4 cup softened butter Can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can replace with almond extract for a twist.
Coating
  • 1 cup chocolate Your choice—dark, milk, or white chocolate.
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Adds balance to the flavors.
Sweetness
  • 2 cups powdered sugar Adds sweetness and binds the mixture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture holds together and is slightly sticky.
  3. Scoop out small portions of the peanut butter mixture and shape them into egg-like ovals. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Pop the baking sheet in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up the eggs.
Coating
  1. While the eggs chill, melt your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  2. Remove the peanut butter eggs from the fridge. Using a fork, dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated, then return them to the baking sheet.
  3. Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature or chill in the fridge for quicker results.

Notes

These eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to three months. You can add crushed nuts or a drizzle of contrasting chocolate for flair!
