Peanut Butter Eggs Recipe
This Peanut Butter Eggs Recipe is a fantastic choice. It features a soft center and a very smooth chocolate shell.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter for the base.
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter softened very well.
- 2 cups of powdered sugar for the thick structure.
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for flavor.
- 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips for dipping.
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for a shiny shell.
- 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt to balance the sweet.
- Yellow sprinkles for a bright decoration today.
Instructions
Mix the Nutty Dough
- Combine the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat until the mixture is very smooth.
Add the Sweet Sugar
- Slowly add the powdered sugar and salt to the bowl. Mix until a thick dough forms that you can touch.
Shape the Small Eggs
- Scoop a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten it into an egg shape with your hands now.
Chill the Peanut Centers
- Place the shaped eggs onto your lined baking sheet. Put them in the freezer for 30 minutes today.
Melt the Dark Chocolate
- Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds until the liquid is very smooth.
Dip the Cold Eggs
- Use a fork to drop one egg into the warm chocolate. Lift it out and let the extra liquid drip off slowly.
Place on the Paper
- Set the chocolate egg back onto the parchment paper. Add your yellow sprinkles while the shell is still wet.
Set in the Fridge
- Chill the finished eggs for one hour in the fridge. This makes the chocolate very hard and snappy today.
Notes
- Use a smooth peanut butter for the best texture today.
- Always freeze the centers before you start the dipping.
- Use coconut oil to make the chocolate very shiny.
- Sift the powdered sugar to avoid any white lumps.
- Use a deep bowl for the chocolate to cover the eggs.
- Add extra salt if you love a very savory candy.
- Keep the eggs cold until you are ready to eat them.
