Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Gradually mix in 2 cups powdered sugar until a soft dough forms.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, shape into eggs, and place on the sheet. Repeat until you have 12 eggs.
4. Freeze the eggs for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups milk chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
6. Dip each chilled egg into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Let excess drip off.
7. Place coated eggs back on the parchment-lined tray.
8. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until chocolate is fully set.
9. Store in the fridge or freeze for later enjoyment.
Notes
Chill the shaped eggs well before dipping to prevent melting in the chocolate.
Swap milk chocolate for dark if you want a richer, less sweet version.
Store in the freezer for up to 3 months in a sealed container.
