Instructions
- Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper and set aside.
- Add powdered sugar and peanut butter to a large bowl and using a high-speed mixer, beat together until combined. Add melted butter and beat until smooth.
- Add milk, vanilla and salt, continue to beat until a soft and smooth dough forms. The dough may be a little crumbly, which is ok.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a disk about ½ inch thick. Using an egg cookie cutter, or measuring cup that resemble an egg, cut the dough into egg-like shapes. Place on the prepared cookie sheet. Freeze for an hour.

- Using two forks, dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate to coat. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill for 20 minutes, or until chocolate harden. Keep them in the fridge.
- Serve and enjoy!
