Servings 24
Ingredients
- 3 cups creamy peanut butter
- ⅛ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 20 oz. chocolate chips, semi-sweet
Instructions
- Cream peanut butter and brown sugar.
- Stir in melted butter.
- Mix in powdered sugar.
- Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper and press peanut butter mixture into the pan until even and flat. Place in the freezer for 1-2 hours.
- Remove pan from freezer and lift the peanut butter mixture out of the pan.
- Use a small egg-shaped cookie cutter to cut out peanut butter egg shapes. Make the cuts as close together as possible. Re-shape remaining peanut butter filling and cut out additional peanut butter eggs.
- Place peanut butter eggs shapes in freezer to harden for another 1-2 hours.
- Melt chocolate chips in microwave in a glass bowl by melting for 1 minute, stirring, and then heating in 30 second increments and stirring in between each 30 seconds until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip each peanut butter egg into the chocolate with a fork, tapping excess chocolate off of the egg on the side of the bowl.
- Let chocolate harden on the eggs in refrigerator and then layer in a container to store.
