  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 eggs

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, stirring until a dough forms.
  3. Shape the mixture into small egg-shaped pieces (1-2 inches long) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
  6. Dip each peanut butter egg in melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  7. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until the chocolate sets.

Notes

For a thinner chocolate coating, add an extra teaspoon of coconut oil.

Customize with white chocolate, dark chocolate, or crunchy peanut butter.

For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate and a plant-based butter substitute.
