oh. my. heavens.
I made these homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs for Easter and they are to die for AND super easy!
No-Bake Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Eggs
Ingredients
- 1¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Chocolate Almond Bark, or candy melts
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together peanut butter, butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and salt until well combined. You may have to use your hands if you're not using a stand mixer.
- Roll dough out on a wax paper lined surface to a generous 1/4" thickness.(place a another piece of wax paper over dough for easier rolling). Remove top piece of wax paper and using a small oval cookie cutter, cut out your eggs and place on wax paper lined pan. Reroll scraps and cut again. *I molded my dough into my deviled egg tray. SO much easier! Just spray with non-stick spray first to ensure easy removal once frozen. One batch made 12 eggs.
- Place cut eggs in the freezer for one hour, or until firm.
- Melt chocolate according to instructions on package. I used half a package of Almond Bark.
- Using a fork, dunk each frozen egg in the chocolate, tapping off the excess. Use a spoon to push egg off fork on to wax paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate until set.
- Enjoy!
These can be made using any cookie cutter shape, or you could even shape dough by hand.
Oh my! Greg would go crazy over these! I will have to try them.
