Ingredients

400 g confectioners' sugar

240 g creamy peanut butter

60 g unsalted butter, softened

15 ml milk

225 g semisweet chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch chunks

15 ml shortening

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, beat together confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, and softened butter until well blended. Add milk if needed for moisture. Divide the mixture in half and shape it into two large eggs. Place the eggs on a wax paper-lined plate and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

Step 2

As the eggs freeze, melt the chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the eggs from the freezer. Carefully insert a long-tined fork into the top of an egg, then gently dip it into the melted chocolate until fully covered. Place it back onto the waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining egg. Decorate as desired.
