Peanut Butter Egg Recipe

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter the base of your rich, silky filling
- ½ cup unsalted butter this helps it melt smooth and hold its shape
- 2 cups powdered sugar to sweeten things just right
- ¼ teaspoon salt to boost all those flavors up a notch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to add a little warmth and depth
- 2 cups milk chocolate for dipping this turns your peanut butter eggs into little candy treasures
Instructions
Instructions
- Mix peanut butter and unsalted butter in a bowl until creamy and smooth.
- Add powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract gradually until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into egg shapes by hand.
- Lay the eggs on a baking sheet with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt milk chocolate in the microwave or double boiler until smooth.
- Dip the chilled peanut butter eggs into the melted chocolate.
- Place dipped eggs back on parchment and let the chocolate set.
Notes
If your filling mixture is slightly lumpy when mixing it together, microwave it for another 10 seconds to get it melted enough to become smooth. You can swap out the peanut butter for any type of nut butter you prefer.
