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.
