My Mom made these chocolate-dipped peanut butter eggs for many years. She would put our names on them in frosting and decorate with bunnies and flowers. They bring back wonderful memories.

Steps:
- Mix the butter and cream cheese together. (I put mine in the microwave for 40 secs. to soften), then cream together.
- Add the confectionary sugar about 1 cup at a time, and mix well. (I use my hands to mix it all in).
- Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt, and mix until well-blended. (I use my hands to mix it all in).
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hours (I stick the bowl in the freezer for about 1/2 hr., to harden the dough.
- Form the peanut butter mixture into egg shapes, then refrigerate again for at least 1 hour (Again, I put them in the freezer instead of the fridge).
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave oven or in a double boiler. (I had better results using a double boiler, because the steaming water helps the chips to stay creamy longer).
- Quickly place the eggs, doing one at a time, in the chocolate mixture to coat the bottom, then lift it with a thin spatulda, and with a knife I spread all along the sides and top of the egg, then with the knife I fluff the top of the chocolate to make the eggs look pretty. Just press down on the chocolate and lift up, with a butter knife. Do it all over the top of the egg.
- You have to work quickly while the eggs are frozen, as the heat from the chocolate chips makes them soft again rather quickly. If you notice them getting too soft, stick them back in the freezer for a few minutes.
- Arrange the chocolate coated eggs on a waxed paper lined tray, and allow the chocolate to harden. (I stick mine in the freezer for easier handling when coating with the chocolate).
- Place each peanut butter egg in a paper candy cup.
- You can decorate your eggs with pastel colored Easter sprinkles or pastel jimmies, found in the cake/decorating section at the grocery store.

- In a large bowl, microwave peanut butter and butter until almost melted. Mix well or beat with an electric mixer until combined. Add vanilla and salt and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing with an electric mixer until combined. It will be a little crumbly at this point. Add enough milk so that a soft peanut butter "dough" comes together -- it will firm up as it cools so we want it on the softer side.
- Press into a 9x13" pan lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator until cooled, about 30-60 minutes.
- Remove peanut butter filling from pan and peel away parchment paper. Use an egg shaped cookie cutter to cut shapes out of filling. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Rework any leftover peanut butter filling, rolling it into a ball and pressing it into the cookie cutter to make egg shapes with remaining filling. Place baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for 30-60 minutes, until firm.

- In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar over medium heat. Heat until completely melted and starting to simmer, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
- Add the powdered sugar a ¼ cup at a time, stirring until completely combined with the peanut butter mixture after each addition. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
- Using a medium cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, scoop out peanut butter mixture and shape into eggs. I found it easiest to roll the scoop into a ball, and then roll it into a short cylinder. I placed it on the baking sheet, and then used my fingers to shape the ends into an egg-like oval. Refrigerate to allow the peanut butter eggs to set, about 30 minutes.

- Step 1: In a large bowl, mix 2 jars (12.5 ounces each) creamy peanut butter, 4 cups confectioners' sugar and 1/4 pound (8 tablespoons) butter. The batter should be creamy, but thick. If not thick enough, gradually add a little more confectioners' sugar. This batter must be refrigerated for at least 2 hours before working with it, and preferably a day ahead.
- Step 2: Once the batter is chilled, take small amounts out of the fridge, and roll into small balls and shape into eggs. Store the eggs in a plastic container in layers that are separated by waxed paper. Freeze. When eggs are completely frozen, take a few out at a time to dip into chocolate.
- Step 3: To melt the chocolate, place 1 cup chocolate wafers into a small bowl (glass, not plastic) with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. The oil adds a little shine to the chocolate. Melt in the microwave slowly in 45-second increments, until completely melted. Dip frozen eggs, a few at a time, into the chocolate.
- Step 4: After dipping, drizzle the eggs with melted peanut butter wafers (melted in the same manner as the chocolate). Let cool on a waxed-paper-lined cookie sheet in a cool place. The chocolate should set almost immediately if the eggs were frozen before dipping. Store in plastic containers either in the refrigerator or in the freezer until ready to use.

- Cream butter, sugar and peanut butter until well combined. Add in vanilla. Sprinkle flour and salt on top of mixture, then stir until incorporated. Stir in Reese's Pieces.
- Turn dough onto a piece of parchment paper (or wax paper) and fold paper over so that it covers the top of the dough. Roll dough out until about 1/2" thick. Use a small Easter Egg cookie cutter to cut eggs out of the dough, setting eggs on a parchment covered baking pan. Roll dough again as needed, until all dough has been shaped into eggs. (I have this 18-piece Wilton Spring cookie cutter set- I love it and that's where I got my 2 1/2" egg cookie cutter from.)
- Melt the chocolate, separating 2-3 TBSP of each, white and dark melting chocolate into small bags with the corners cut, for drizzling. I love using Chocoley Dipping & Coating Chocolate because it’s super easy to use and it tastes fantastic. (not like wax!) The trick to melting chocolate in the microwave is to go slowly and stir gently- and just before you feel like it's completely melted, take it out of the microwave and let it finish melting in the warm bowl. This time I used the large tubs of Chocoley Dipping chocolate, which are so handy! I melted them for 2 minutes, then stirred gently and warmed for another 30 seconds, then they were ready. I can re-use the tubs and bonus- no having to wash dishes!
