How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 3 cups powdered sugar until smooth.
- Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until a soft, workable dough forms. The dough should be like playdough.
- Shape the dough into small egg shapes.
- Freeze the peanut butter eggs for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- In a microwave-safe glass measuring cup, combine 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip each frozen peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Place the chocolate-covered eggs on wax paper to set.
- Once the chocolate has set, use a paring knife to carefully trim any excess chocolate.
- Decorate with your choice of royal icing or sprinkles.
