Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or spoon to mix until smooth and well-combined.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture and shape it into an egg-like oval using your hands. Place the shaped ovals onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Repeat the shaping process until all the peanut butter mixture has been used. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until the peanut butter eggs are firm.
Step 4
While the eggs are chilling, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 5
Remove the chilled peanut butter eggs from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated egg back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Optional: Use the back of a fork or a toothpick to create decorative lines or patterns on the chocolate eggs before the coating sets.
Step 7
Once all the eggs are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Step 8
Serve the Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
