Bumble and I made Peanut Butter Eggs the other day. I received this recipe from a friend a couple of years ago and have made them around Easter ever since then. Here are the ingredients...
2 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup peanut butter
4 oz cream cheese
evaporated milk
1 to 1 1/2 lb. 10x sugar
milk chocolate melting wafers
egg molds
First mix the vanilla, salt, peanut butter, and cream cheese. Then add the 10x sugar. I used about 1/2 to 3/4 of a 2 lb. bag. You can adjust this depending on how sweet you like the filling. While mixing, gradually add several tablespoons of evaporated milk until the mixture is stiff but creamy.
The mixture will look like this when finished...
Then sample a little bit just to make sure it is good!
Now that the peanut butter mixture has been approved by Bumble, pour some of the chocolate wafers in the microwavable bowl. Microwave on high for about a minute or two until melted. If you want to melt the chocolate on the stove that is fine too.
After the chocolate is melted stir it to make sure it is nice and smooth.
Then fill the egg molds with the chocolate. Put in just enough to coat the bottom of the egg mold.
Here, Bumble is trying her hand at this...
Then place the egg molds in the freezer. It will only take a couple of minutes for the chocolate to harden. Then take the mold out of the freezer and place some of the peanut butter filling in each egg. This was Bumble's favorite part to help with.
Then place in the freezer again. When the chocolate hardens take the eggs out of the molds. They will look like this...
This recipe makes about 100 eggs this size. We only made about 50 and ate the rest of the peanut butter filling as is! It tastes like peanut butter fudge. Feel free to half this recipe if you would like. If you do not have egg molds you can shape the filling into egg shapes and dip them in the chocolate. Now matter what way you decide to make these they will be "egg"cellent!
