# What You'll Need:
→ Peanut Butter Filling
01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
03 - 2 cups powdered sugar
04 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Chocolate Coating
06 - 2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips
07 - 2 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable shortening
→ Decoration (optional)
08 - Sprinkles or colored candy melts
# Method:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, beat together creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
02 - Gradually mix in powdered sugar until a thick, pliable dough forms.
03 - Portion approximately 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture and shape into eggs by hand. Arrange shaped eggs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes or until the eggs are firm.
05 - Combine chocolate chips with coconut oil or vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
06 - Using a fork, dip each frozen peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return coated eggs to the parchment-lined sheet.
07 - If desired, garnish eggs with sprinkles or drizzle with colored candy melts before the chocolate sets.
08 - Refrigerate coated eggs for at least 15 minutes to ensure the chocolate hardens completely.
