How To Make Peanut Butter Eggs Food and Dessert Ideas

Ingredients

•  1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
•  3 cups powdered sugar
•  1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
•  2 tablespoons milk
•  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
•  2 cups milk chocolate chips
•  2 tablespoons corn syrup or shortening, I like using corn syrup

Instructions

• Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper and set aside.
• Add powdered sugar and peanut butter to a large bowl and using a high-speed mixer, beat together until combined. Add melted butter and beat until smooth.
• Add milk, vanilla and salt, continue to beat until a soft and smooth dough forms. The dough may be a little crumbly, which is ok.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough in a disk about ½ inch thick. Using an egg cookie cutter, measuring cups that resemble an egg or a knife, cut the dough into egg-like shapes. Place on the prepared cookie sheet. Freeze for an hour.
• Add chocolate chips and corn syrup (or shortening) to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 seconds increments, stirring after each one until fully melted. Careful to not burn it.
• Using two forks, dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate to coat. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Chill for 20 minutes, or until chocolate hardens. Keet in the fridge.
• Serve and enjoy!
