Joni's Peanut Butter Eggs rec.food.recipes/Ursula (George T. Taylor/2003 Yield: 24 servings
1 lb confectioners’ sugar 2 cup peanut butter 1/2 lb butter; softened 2 lb milk chocolate coating
Mix all ingredients until smooth and soft. If sticky add more powdered sugar. Make into small logs, egg shape.
Melt chocolate coating. I use electric fry pan with water on low, and I use a stainless steel bowl to melt choc-coating. It gives me more room for dipping eggs. You can also just put them in Reese's type molds, and papers. But we shape them in Egg shape for Easter.
Put on wax paper lined cookie sheet and put in freezer for a few minutes, makes them shiny and nice.
PS. I use the left over chocolate to make solid chocolate bunnies. You can buy all kinds of molds that are inexpensive and fun to work with.
Or, add nuts and raisins, and put them in papers. They are just like a chunky bar. Or just save it in a jar for next time.
Kids always like chocolate covered small pretzels.
Or take Marshmallows and coat them with chocolate, I like to use the small ones and make a cluster out of them. You can also add them to the chunky bars. Use your imagination.
