Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Easter Eggs 🐣

Peanut butter cups are one of my family’s favorite candies. Making them from scratch was both easy and fun (even if it was a little messy!). Most importantly, it was something that my 5 year old daughter and I could do together. The chocolate all over my kitchen was worth it. 😆

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Assemble the ingredients.
Ensure that the butter is at room temperature. - 2
Place the graham crackers in a large plastic bag and smash them using a mallet or a rolling pin. Very finely crushed crumbs will yield a better texture in the filling.
- 3
Place the butter into a bowl and beat with a hand mixer at medium speed until creamy.
- 4
Scrape the bowl, add the peanut butter, and beat again with the hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and a little bit lighter.
- 5
Add the powdered sugar and mix it in at low speed. Add the vanilla, kosher salt, and graham cracker crumbs, and mix again at low speed until everything is well blended.
- 6
Cover the peanut butter filling and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Chilling it will make it easier to work with.
- 7
Line a cookie tray with parchment paper. Form rounded tablespoons of the filling into egg shapes, replace them onto the parchment paper. Cover the tray with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- 8
Melt the chocolate. I used a microwave for this step, but you could use a double boiler if you wish.
- 9
Working with one “egg” at a time, dip it into the chocolate and remove it using two forks. Transfer the dipped “egg” to a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
- 10
If desired, decorate using sprinkles.
Store the eggs in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to one week. Or, you can freeze them for up to a month.Check out those snazzy eggs my daughter did in the second pic! 😆
- 11
Please note that the sprinkles may melt a little or spread, so be sure to enjoy the decorated ones first.

Notes:
Use a chocolate that is suitable for melting. Ghirardelli‘s baking chocolate works well in this case, and I chose 60% cacao for these peanut butter cups.
In a pinch, chocolate chips will work, but the chocolate tends to be thicker and clumps a little more.

Peanut Butter Cups Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter is Canada's equivalent to Japan's anko (red bean paste)! I made these for my Canadian partner. Referencing a few recipes in English on the internet, I came up with my own original. Did you know that ET ate Reese's Pieces in the movie?Since it's like eating peanut butter straight, Japanese people might experience a culture shock. It's not for everyone. For those who haven't tried the Reese's version, I recommend starting out by making only a small amount, then make it again if it goes over well. It's a high-calorie sweet, so be careful not to eat too many. Recipe by VitaminY cookpad.japan -

I needed a recipe to use up the four egg yolks I had left over from making meringues so I made these! I overbaked mine (18 min in a toaster oven) so definitely bake for less time than that.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Inspired by https://www.thekitchenmagpie.com/thick-chewy-peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/ with substitutes and reductionsThe original recipe calls for 120g of peanut butter, but I used 147g because I had extra and it turned out great. I like using chunky peanut butter for an extra nutty crunch.I find that using small chocolate chips is better for folding so I used a mixture of normal dark chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips (Laura Secord chocolate chips)I used a small ice cream scoop to help keep the dome shape of the cookie.
