Ingredients

  • 1 cup Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 8 oz Dark Cocoa Melting Chips
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, butter, vanilla and 1 cup powdered sugar over medium heat.
  • Heat until completely melted and starting to bubble a little, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add the remaining powdered sugar at a time, stirring after each addition until completely combined.
  • Set aside and let cool to room temp.
  • You can chill dough in the fridge before rolling into eggs. Should make it a lot easier to handle.
  • Shape dough into flat little ovals (or egg shapes, but real Reeses eggs are flat).
  • Place the eggs on a lined baking sheet and stick them in the freezer for an hour or so, until it’s hard.
  • Melt chocolate in microwave by heating for 30 seconds then stirring and repeating process until it is melted and smooth.
  • Using two forks, roll each egg into the chocolate and place them back on the lined baking sheet.
  • Place the eggs back in the freezer to let the chocolate set. It should take an hour or two.
  • Best to store these in the freezer as well. If you store these in the fridge, they will become slightly soft.
  • You can thaw a little before eating, or eat when frozen–either way, they’re awesome!
