Peanut Butter Eggs - Ahead of Thyme

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and softened unsalted butter. Mix until well blended and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until the mixture is thick and well combined.
  3. Using your hands, shape the peanut butter mixture into small egg-shaped pieces, about 1-2 inches long. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Once all the eggs are formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the eggs are firm.
  5. While the peanut butter eggs are chilling, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. You can add a tablespoon of coconut oil for a smoother consistency if desired. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
  6. Remove the chilled peanut butter eggs from the freezer. Dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated. Use a fork to lift them out and allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
  7. Return the chocolate-covered eggs to the parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool until the chocolate hardens. You can place them in the refrigerator to speed up this process.
  8. Once the chocolate is set, your Peanut Butter Eggs are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

These Peanut Butter Eggs make for an irresistible treat that is sure to bring smiles. Enjoy sharing them with family and friends, or keep them all for yourself—you deserve it!
