Preparation

Step 1

Stir together peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla and a dash of salt, just to combine.

Gradually mix in powdered sugar.

Press the mixture into prepared dish. Smooth the top with spatula or simply press it with your palms to flatten into about ½ inch thick layer.

Place it in the freezer until firm enough for cutting.

Using egg shaped cookie cutter cut out the eggs and place them on the tray. Place them in the freezer for 45-60 minutes.

Melt the chocolate and line another tray with parchment paper.

Using a fork, dip each egg into melted chocolate to cover completely. Gently tap the fork to drip of the excess of chocolate. Place chocolate covered eggs on the parchment paper lined tray. Refrigerate until chocolate has set.

I made 16-17 eggs, but the number depends on the size of your cookie cutter. I use mu 2 inch circle metal cookie cutter and squeeze it to make egg shaped cutter. Don’t waste any batter, pick up leftovers, kneed, press with your palms and you will be able to cut out at least 2-3 more eggs.
