Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the peanut butter mixture into small egg shapes, about 1-2 inches long, and place them on the lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the peanut butter eggs for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

- Place the chocolate-coated eggs back onto the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Once set, store the eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
For a crunchy twist, sprinkle crushed peanuts on top before the chocolate sets, or try dipping pastel-colored candy melts for a festive look.
