# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
03 - 2 cups powdered sugar

05 - Pinch of salt

# How-To:

01 - Beat together peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth.
02 - Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing until a thick, smooth dough forms.
03 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and shape each into an egg. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

08 - Refrigerate coated eggs for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
09 - Transfer eggs to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Each bite is a creamy, nutty surprise wrapped in sweet white chocolate—like dessert disguised as a celebration.
  • The process is fun and hands-on, making it perfect for sharing with kids or friends who love to help decorate.
02 -
  • If you rush the melting, the white chocolate seizes up—take it slow and always stir gently between heats.
  • I learned by accident that sprinkles work best if applied while the chocolate is still wet; otherwise, they slide right off!
03 -
  • If your chocolate starts to harden, revive it with a touch more coconut oil and a gentle stir.
  • The eggs look extra pretty if you drizzle a second layer of chocolate in zig-zags before adding sprinkles.
