Author:
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 16
Ingredients
  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (crunchy will work if you prefer)
  • ¼ cup no salt butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp chocolate milk
  • 1-12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp shortening
  • Sprinkles for decoration, optional
Instructions
  1. Combine peanut butter, butter, and milk, then mix in the confectioner's sugar until you have a batter consistency.
  2. Line a large plate or baking dish with parchment paper, set aside.
  3. Roll out your peanut butter dough on a separate piece of parchment paper and using a cookie cutter, cut out shapes and transfer to lined baking dish. Alternately, you can just make 2" balls.
  4. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
  5. After the 30-minute wait, melt the chocolate chips and frosting to smooth and creamy.
  6. Remove truffles from freezer and using a fork, lower them, one at a time, into the melted chocolate to cover, drain excess and return to lined baking dish or plate. It may be necessary to reheat the chocolate halfway through if it thickens.
  7. Cover with sprinkles, if desired, to decorate.
  8. Return chocolate covered peanut butter eggs to refrigerator in the pan and let them set up in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  9. Enjoy!
