I stumbled upon these on AllRecipes yesterday and was thrilled to see that I had all the ingredients. These are delicious!
Ingredients:
-
1 package icing (Confectioners’) sugar (16 ounces)
-
1 cup peanut butter
-
1/4 c. margarine
-
1 tbsp milk
-
8 (1 oz) squares semi-sweet chocolate (I used chocolate chips)
-
1 tbsp. shortening
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the icing sugar, peanut butter and milk (if needed) until blended. Shape mixture into 1/2 lb. eggs or I used teaspoon fulls and shaped into small eggs (bite size). Chill or freeze until firm.
Melt your chocolate & shortening until smooth & creamy and dip peanut butter eggs until coated. Set on wax paper until firm. I also sprinkled mine with sprinkles, but the possibilities are endless, you could easily sprinkle with coconut, crushed candies/Cookie’s, etc.
Enjoy!
Dawn your pictures look great-I can almost taste them.
If I knew they’d hold up in the mail, I’d send you some samples Susan! I’ve actually stuck them in the freezer, so none of us don’t get tummy aches from sampling too many!
OMGoodness, those look SO GOOD! It’s a good thing they are at your house & not mine! LOL! I think I have everything at home too, but I know they’d NEVER turn out looking like that! Any tips on dipping in chocolate? I tried buckeye balls once, and they had too much chocolate on them. These look perfect! Great job!
Looks yummy, I make a simalar egg shape out of cake, and cover with melted chocolate. I use the disposable aluminum foil twice baked potato tins, they look just like eggs when finished.

what icing sugar?
@winter, icing sugar is another name for Confectioners' Sugar. I'll add that, thanks!
