Ingredients

• Peanut Butter Filling
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Coating & Decoration
• 2 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
• 1/4 cup assorted colorful sprinkles

Instructions

1. Mix Peanut Butter Filling

In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

2. Add Powdered Sugar

Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until a thick, smooth dough forms.

3. Shape Eggs

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and shape each into an egg. Place eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. Chill Eggs

Refrigerate the shaped eggs for 30 minutes, until firm.

5. Melt Chocolate

Melt white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

6. Coat Eggs

Dip each chilled peanut butter egg into the melted white chocolate, coating completely. Let excess chocolate drip off, then return to the parchment-lined tray.

7. Decorate

Immediately decorate with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

8. Set Chocolate

Chill the coated eggs for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.

9. Store

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For a crunchier filling, try folding in 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts to the peanut butter mixture before shaping. This adds a satisfying texture contrast that complements the creamy coating.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily substitute dark or milk chocolate for the white chocolate coating if you prefer a different flavor. Additionally, use festive pastel sprinkles to evoke a classic Easter look or customize the decorations to match any holiday or party theme.
