Ingredients
- 14 ounces milk chocolate flavored easy melt wafers (can be purchased in most craft stores)
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Royal icing for decorating optional, click here
Instructions
- Place chocolate wafers in microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds at half power. Stir. Repeat until wafers are completely melted.
- Spoon melted chocolate into egg molds coating bottom and sides completely, about 1/8 inch thick. Refrigerate 30 minutes until set.
- Meanwhile, place peanut butter in microwave safe bowl and microwave 30 seconds until softened.
- Remove from microwave and stir in powdered sugar and salt until completely blended.
- When chocolate is set, carefully spoon peanut butter mixture into egg molds and flatten (leaving about 1/8 inch between peanut butter and the top of the egg mold).
- Spoon melted chocolate over peanut butter until covered completely and level with egg mold.
- Refrigerate another 30 minutes until set. Carefully remove from molds. Decorate as desired with royal icing.
- Decorate as desired with royal icing.
Notes
- For starters, you can find the egg molds at most craft stores. The eggs end up being around 3 to 3 1/2 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 1/2 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.
