Peanut Butter Easter Eggs Fun Easter Dessert For All Ages

Holidays are a grand time for traditions. So many traditions are centered around food, which in our opinion, is just as it should be. Growing up we always looked forward to Easter because mom would make us these beautiful and delicious chocolate peanut butter easter eggs! These are so much better than the Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs you can buy at the store, not to mention you get so much more for your money! This year I enjoyed making these with my own daughter. Thanks for starting such a fun family tradition mom!

Ingredients in Peanut Butter Easter Eggs

Milk Chocolate Candy Melts – we like to use the Wilton or Ghirardelli candy melts. Peanut Butter – make sure to use creamy peanut butter. Powdered Sugar – also called confectioners’ sugar Salt Royal Icing – for decoration. You can also use sprinkles.

Some Tips and Variations to Try

We love reader comments on all of our posts. It’s such a great way to connect and to see how you’re taking our favorite family recipes and making them your own. Thanks to that kind of feedback, there are a few tips and variations to try when making these delicious Easter treats.

For starters, you can find the egg molds at most craft stores. The eggs end up being around 3 to 3 ½ inches tall and one batch makes approximately one tray full. If you want to substitute the chocolate flavored melt wafers with chocolate chips of any flavor, go ahead. But you’ll want to adjust the recipe a bit. Use a 12-ounce bag of chocolate chips and add 1 ½ Tablespoons of shortening or coconut oil to thin the chocolate. You will need to thin the chocolate in order to make it easier to use in the mold. Let us know if any other variations work for you!
