Homemade Peanut Butter Eggs | News Article

Tasty and easy, get creative this Easter!

1/2 stick (or 1/4 cup) of butter

1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter

1 heaping cup of powdered sugar

12 oz bag of chocolate chips or chocolate candy melt

various colors of candy melts for decorating if desired

  • Make sure the butter is soft to begin with, then just mix everything until smooth. Using your hands might be easiest.
  • You can make these any size you want and place them on wax paper.
  • Freeze for about 10 minutes after shaping. During the freeze, melt your chocolate.
  • For the shiniest eggs, you might want to use chocolate candy melts. To get a good finish on chocolate that’s not specifically designed for melting, you need to temper it. 
  • Dip the eggs in the chocolate, working quickly so the chocolate doesn’t get too cool. Use a fork to fish the egg out of the chocolate, and tap it a few times to shake off the excess chocolate. Then use a toothpick to slide the egg off the fork onto wax paper.
  • Before the chocolate sets up, use a toothpick to “trace” around the eggs on the wax paper. That way, when you pick up the eggs after they have set the excess chocolate will break off in a clean line around the egg.
  • Let the chocolate set up completely at room temp or in the fridge.
  • Decorate as desired. You can use melted candy melts in sandwich bags with the corner snipped off to “pipe” designs on the eggs.
