Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Egg Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter (do not use organic peanut butter that is too oily)
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons milk (or more)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons shortening
Instructions
- Cover: Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper and set aside.
- Beat: Add powdered sugar and peanut butter to a large bowl and using a high-speed mixer, beat together until combined. Add melted butter and beat until smooth.
- Continue to beat: Add milk, vanilla and salt, continue to beat until a soft and smooth dough forms. The dough may be a little crumbly, which is ok.
- Cut and freeze: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a disk about ½ inch thick. Using an egg cookie cutter, or measuring cup that resemble an egg, cut the dough into egg-like shapes. Place on the prepared cookie sheet. Freeze for an hour.
- Melt: Add chocolate chips and shortening to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 seconds increments, stirring after each one until fully melted. Careful to not burn it.
- Dip: Using two forks, dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate to coat. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill: Chill for 20 minutes, or until chocolate harden. Keep them in the fridge.
- Serve: Serve and enjoy!
