Description
Delicious homemade peanut butter eggs coated in chocolate, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into egg shapes, about 1 inch long. Place the shaped eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- While the eggs are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the peanut butter eggs from the refrigerator. Dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Return the coated eggs to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all the eggs are coated, refrigerate again for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or a few crushed pretzels to the peanut butter mixture for added texture and flavor.
