Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (125g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (125g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (15ml) milk
- 12 oz (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp (30ml) coconut oil
Instructions:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until completely smooth.
- Blend in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is a uniform tan color.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar on low speed. Once combined, increase speed to medium for 1 minute. If the dough is too stiff to roll, add milk one teaspoon at a time.
- Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of filling and roll it into a smooth oval shape.
- Place the eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space between each.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate is glossy and fluid.
- Using a fork, dip a chilled peanut butter egg into the chocolate, lifting it out and gently tapping the fork to let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place back on the parchment. If streaks appear, use a toothpick to smooth the top before the chocolate sets.
