Peanut Butter Egg (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 cups milk chocolate for coating.
02 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt.
04 - 2 cups powdered sugar.
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter.
06 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter.

# Instructions:

01 - Warm up peanut butter and butter in a big bowl in the microwave so they melt and stir together easily.
02 - Stir the melted butter and peanut butter into a smooth mixture. Use a whisk, spatula, or even a hand mixer.
03 - Gradually add powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla. Keep mixing until it all combines perfectly.
04 - Scoop out 2 tablespoons, roll into a ball, then squish it into an egg shape by pressing and shaping one end.
05 - Set the egg shapes on a parchment-lined pan and pop them in the fridge until they're nice and firm.
06 - Microwave chocolate in short bursts of 30 seconds. After each burst, stir until it's smooth and glossy.
07 - Coat the chilled eggs in the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off before placing them on parchment.
08 - If you want, drizzle leftover chocolate on top to make them look fancy.

# Notes:

01 - Swap peanut butter with other nut butters if you like.
02 - Stir natural peanut butter more since it's less consistent.
03 - Crunchy peanut butter can be used if you want extra bits inside.
