Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter room temperature
  • 0.25 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups Powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon Fine salt
  • 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or shortening

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, beat peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Mix in vanilla and salt.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until a thick, moldable dough forms that doesn't stick to your hands.
  • Scoop about 1.0 tablespoon of dough per piece, roll into an oval, and flatten slightly to form egg shapes. Place on the prepared sheet.
  • Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until silky and smooth.
  • Using a fork, dip each chilled peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return to parchment.
  • Optional: drizzle remaining chocolate over the tops for a pattern. Chill until set, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months.

Notes

For cleaner edges, dip while the centers are very cold. Use milk chocolate for a sweeter shell or dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
