Peanut Butter Eggs

 

Peanut Butter Eggs

Our daughter used to make hundreds of these each spring.  She bought herself a new laptop one spring, with her profits!  We do not compromise on the peanut butter for these - for us, it's Jiff only.

My favorite melting chocolate were the wafers from A.C. Moore, before they went out of business.  I have never liked the brand from Michaels quite as well, although they do work.  Chocolate chips can be used in place of the chocolate wafers, too.  

2 cups 10x sugar
1 cup Jiff Peanut Butter
1/4 cup butter
1 T milk
melting chocolate

Soften the butter, combine all ingredients   (we use the kitchen-aid to cream the ingredients together)
Form into egg shapes
Pop in the freezer for about 30 minutes to an hour
Dip in chocolate

Freezing them first helps so much when coating them in chocolate.  Otherwise this can get very messy.  :-)
