I make these wonderful chocolate-covered peanut butter candies in the shape of eggs at Easter time.
Ingredients
- creamy peanut butter: 2 cups
- butter: 0.75 cup
- ½ cups confectioners' sugar: 3 piece
- crispy rice cereal: 3 cups
- semisweet chocolate chips: 1 pack (12 ounce pack)

Stages of cooking
-
Combine peanut butter and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth; stir in confectioners' sugar and crisp rice cereal until a dough is formed. Refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour to allow it to be easier to work with. Shape mixture into egg shapes and freeze for 20 minutes.
-
Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler over low heat until smooth; dip egg shapes into chocolate. Place on waxed paper and allow to cool.
