Peanut Butter Eggs
Description
This recipe for Peanut Butter Eggs starts by mixing creamy peanut butter with powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs for texture, and a pinch of salt to balance sweetness. The mixture is blended until evenly combined, then shaped into flattened egg forms. After chilling to firm up, each egg is dipped in melted chocolate, cooled again to set the coating, resulting in a silky chocolate shell encasing a dense, sweet, peanut-flavored filling.
The chocolate is gently melted at half power in a microwave with frequent stirring to prevent overheating and ensure smoothness. The eggs can be stored at room temperature for short periods but last longer when refrigerated or frozen. Optional chocolate drizzle can add visual appeal. This treat offers a no-bake alternative to traditional peanut butter candies with a classic flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon salt

- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the microwave at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.

- Refrigerate 30 minutes or until set. Drizzle with additional chocolate if desired.
Notes
