White Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs (Printable Version)

Creamy peanut butter eggs dipped in white chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles for a festive treat.

# What You Need:

→ Peanut Butter Filling

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
03 - 2 cups powdered sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - pinch of salt

→ Coating & Decoration

06 - 2 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
07 - 2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional)
08 - 1/4 cup assorted colorful sprinkles

# Step-by-Step:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, beat together creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture becomes smooth and cohesive.
02 - Gradually incorporate powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until a thick and smooth dough is formed.
03 - Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and shape each piece into an oval egg. Place each shaped egg onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 - Refrigerate the shaped eggs for 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
05 - Combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully smooth.
06 - Dip each chilled egg into the melted white chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before transferring the eggs back to the parchment-lined tray.
07 - Immediately apply assorted colorful sprinkles to the coated eggs before the chocolate sets.
08 - Place the decorated eggs in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set the chocolate completely.
09 - Transfer the finished eggs to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve or gift.
