Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (shelf-stable)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, stir together creamy peanut butter, melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Adjust the texture: If the dough is too sticky, add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar.
- Shape the eggs: Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into an oval that resembles an egg. Flatten slightly and place on a lined tray.
- Freeze the eggs: Put the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm them up.

- Dip the eggs: Take each chilled egg and dip it into the melted chocolate with a fork, tapping off excess.
- Set the eggs: Return each coated egg back to the tray.
- Cool the chocolate: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the coating to set.
- Serve: Enjoy them slightly chilled or at room temperature.
