Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
Great Easter treats that are rich and delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1 stick butter, at room temperature
- 12 ounces peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 24 ounces chocolate almond bark
- Optional: colored icings, sprinkles, jelly beans, etc for decorating
Directions:
Line a baking sheet with wax paper and then set aside.In a mixing bowl, add butter, peanut butter, vanilla and powdered sugar.
Mix together until well combined.
Add milk and mix together well.
Take some of the mixture and form it into the shape of an egg. You can make them as big or as small as you like.
Place onto your prepared baking sheet.
Continue doing this until you have used all of the peanut butter mixture.
Place into your freezer for about 1 hour to chill. These are easier to work with when they are cold.
After the mixture has chilled, place the chocolate almond bark into a microwave safe cup or bowl.
Melt in the microwave in 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until it is melted.
Remove from the microwave and dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, making sure to completely cover the egg and letting the excess chocolate drip off.
Gently place the chocolate covered egg onto the wax paper.
Repeat until all of the eggs have been dipped in the chocolate.
After the chocolate has setup, you can trim off any excess chocolate around the bottom of the egg with a knife.
Optional: Decorate the Easter eggs with different colored icings, sprinkles, jelly beans or whatever you like.
