Creamy and a little crunchy, chocolate-dipped peanut butter eggs will bring smiles to all your favorite “some-bunnies!” This easy homemade version is budget-friendly and fun for the whole family. Tuck them into Easter baskets for a sweet surprise.
Ingredients for Peanut Butter Eggs
This homemade Peanut Butter Eggs recipe is made with basic pantry ingredients. Just like copycat Reese’s peanut butter cups, these come together quickly.
Chocolate – Use a bar of good quality chocolate for the best results (milk or dark chocolate). Semi-sweet chocolate works well, too. Peanut Butter – Stick with classic creamy or crunchy varieties of peanut butter. Natural peanut butter and other kinds of nut butter may not set up properly. Graham Crumbs – Graham crumbs give just the right texture and help the eggs to hold their shape. Powdered Sugar – Powdered sugar sweetens the eggs and adds texture. Variations – Make your own signature treat using mix-ins and fun toppings! Some chopped roasted peanuts or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt will add fancy flavor to peanut butter eggs!
How to Make Peanut Butter Eggs
Fast and fun peanut butter eggs will be a new Easter tradition!
Tips
Melt chocolate in the microwave at 60% power, stirring every 30 seconds. Tempered chocolate take a little more time and effort, but ensures the best results. Make sure your bowls, spoons, and spatulas are dry or the chocolate can “seize up”. Use two forks when dipping to allow the chocolate to drain off and minimize chocolate pooling around the eggs. Keep leftover peanut butter eggs in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Freeze them for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature for 1 hour.
