homemade peanut butter eggs {4 ingredients}

Aaah, Easter. Another holiday, another excuse for chocolate, correct? Way dorsum when, Sees Candies used to sell all their holiday merchandise for half off starting the day afterwards the holiday, which meant we'd head in the day after Easter to load up on peanut butter eggs. Much like the Reese'southward variety, but even better. Alas, no more half off holiday clearance (final I checked) just the expert news is y'all tin can make chocolate peanut butter eggs at habitation with simply iv ingredients. Piece of cake and delicious.

I'm not kidding most the delicious office. The only problem now is trying to effigy out how to finish eating them.

I made a video to show the unabridged process, then I'll give you lot some tips to make sure these turn out:

Hither are the ingredient & amounts yous demand:

1/two stick (or 1/4 cup) of butter

1/ii cup of creamy peanut butter

ane heaping loving cup of powdered sugar

12 oz bag of chocolate chips or chocolate candy melt

diverse colors of candy melts for decorating if desired

And here are some tips:

• Make sure the butter is soft to begin with, then just mix everything until smooth. Aye, I always apply my easily to exercise this, and yes, I wash them first 🙂
• You lot tin brand these any size you lot want. I pinched off maybe a tablespoon's worth for each egg and placed them on wax paper after I shaped them. I ended up with most 25-30 eggs.
• You lot'll want to freeze for about x minutes after shaping. During the freeze, melt your chocolate.
• For the shiniest eggs, you might want to use chocolate candy melts. I don't like the taste of chocolate candy melts so I use Hershey chocolate chips instead. To get a good stop on chocolate that's not specifically designed for melting, you need to temper it. Read this post for an explanation of a quick and dirty method for tempering that doesn't crave a candy thermometer. This method works well, only as you can see from my photos you lot may still go a few "speckles" as the chocolate dries.

• Dip the eggs in the chocolate, working quickly then the chocolate doesn't get as well cool. Use a fork to fish the egg out of the chocolate, and tap information technology a few times to shake off the backlog chocolate. And then employ a toothpick to slide the egg off the fork onto wax newspaper.
• Before the chocolate sets up, utilise a toothpick to "trace" around the eggs on the wax paper. That way, when you pick upward the eggs afterwards they accept fix the excess chocolate will pause off in a clean line around the egg.
• Allow the chocolate set completely at room temp or in the fridge.
• Decorate as desired. I used melted processed melts in sandwich bags with the corner snipped off to "pipage" designs on the eggs.

Enjoy!
