Delicious chocolate-coated peanut butter eggs that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (Confectioners’ Sugar)
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 cups Crisp Rice Cereal (Rice Krispies)
- 2 cups Chocolate for Coating
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture, mixing it in a little at a time until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the crisp rice cereal, being careful not to crush them too much.
- Take about 1 to 1 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into an oval, egg-like shape. Place each shaped egg onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill the shaped eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- Remove the chilled eggs from the refrigerator and dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Transfer the chocolate-coated eggs back to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Add any sprinkles or decorations immediately.
- Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
Notes
- These peanut butter eggs can be customized with different types of chocolate or add-ins like nuts or sprinkles.
