Homemade Peanut Butter Easter Eggs

# What You'll Need:

→ Peanut Butter Filling

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter

02 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

03 - 2 cups powdered sugar

04 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Chocolate Coating

06 - 2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips

07 - 2 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable shortening

→ Decoration

08 - Sprinkles or colored candy melts

# Method:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, blend the peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully smooth.

02 - Gradually mix in powdered sugar, stirring continuously until a thick, pliable dough forms.

03 - Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture per portion and shape by hand into egg forms. Arrange the eggs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

04 - Transfer the shaped eggs to the freezer for 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up.

05 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals. Stir after each interval until chocolate is completely smooth.

06 - Using a fork, dip each frozen peanut butter egg in the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place coated eggs back onto the parchment-lined sheet.

07 - Optional: Drizzle with colored candy melts or sprinkle with decorations before chocolate sets.

08 - Chill the finished eggs in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate sets completely.
