Como fazer Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Eggs
- In a 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the brown sugar is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from microwave and stir in 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, shape the peanut butter mixture into egg shapes on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth and melted.
- Using a toothpick or wooden skewer, carefully dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
- Place the dipped eggs back onto the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for several hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chocolate to fully set.
- Store the finished chocolate-covered peanut butter eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
