Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
Holidays are a grand time for traditions. If you think for even a moment, I’m sure you can come up with some wonderful traditions from your family — either when you were a child, or things you’ve incorporated into your adult life. So many traditions are centered around food, which in our opinion, is just as it should be. Growing up we always looked forward to Easter because mom would make us these beautiful and delicious chocolate peanut butter easter eggs! These are so much better than any treats you can buy at the store, not to mention you get so much more for your money! This year I enjoyed making these with my own daughter. Thanks for starting such a fun family tradition mom!
Some Tips and Variations to Try
We love reader comments on all of our posts. It’s such a great way to connect and to see how you’re taking our favorite family recipes and making them your own. Thanks to that kind of feedback, there are a few tips and variations to try when making these delicious Easter treats. For starters, you can find the egg molds at most craft stores. The eggs end up being around 3 to 3 ½ inches tall and one batch makes approximately one tray full. If you want to substitute the chocolate flavored melt wafers with chocolate chips of any flavor, go ahead. But you’ll want to adjust the recipe a bit. Use a 12-ounce bag of chocolate chips and add 1 ½ Tablespoons of shortening or coconut oil to thin the chocolate. You will need to thin the chocolate in order to make it easier to use in the mold. Let us know if any other variations work for you.
