Preparation

Step 1

Beat the butter, spread, marshmallow, and vanilla until creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar until all mixed in.
Roll into 12 balls. Press flat and shape into an egg shape. Freeze until hard.
Melt the chocolate according to the package directions. Place one frozen egg into the chocolate at a time and use a spoon to cover the entire egg. Use a fork to lift the egg out and tap the excess chocolate off. Place on a sheet of wax paper and let set. Repeat for each egg, reheating the chocolate if needed.
After all the eggs have been dipped, heat the chocolate and use a toothpick to add dots of chocolate where you want the Reese's Pieces place. Let set. Dip the ends of each egg in chocolate and sprinkle with jimmies. Let set. Store in a sealed container. Makes 12 chocolate covered eggs.
