Ingredients
\u00bd cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2\u00be cups confectioners\u2019 (powdered) sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
1. Prepare the baking sheet
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Make the peanut butter mixture
In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, confectioners\u2019 sugar, and vanilla extract.
Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture starts to come together in large clumps. It will look crumbly at first, but it should hold together when pressed between your fingers.
3. Shape the eggs
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture (a medium cookie scoop works well). Roll it into a smooth ball between your palms.
Flatten the ball slightly into a disc, then gently pinch and shape the ends to form an egg shape about 2 inches long. Do not overwork \u2014 the warmth of your hands can soften the mixture.
Place each shaped egg on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture. You should get 12 to 15 eggs.
4. Freeze the eggs
Place the baking sheet with the shaped eggs in the freezer for at least 1 hour. The eggs must be very firm before dipping; otherwise, they may fall apart or lose their shape in the warm chocolate.
5. Melt the chocolate coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy (about 1\u00bd to 2 minutes total). Do not overheat.
6. Dip the eggs
Remove the eggs from the freezer. Work with 3 to 4 eggs at a time, keeping the rest frozen.
Using a dipping fork, two forks, or a toothpick inserted into the end of an egg, dip each egg fully into the melted chocolate. Lift it out and let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place the dipped egg back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
7. Set the chocolate
Once all eggs are dipped, refrigerate the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm and no longer shiny.
8. Serve and store
Enjoy the eggs straight from the refrigerator. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n
