Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened salted butter, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually sift in confectioner's sugar, mixing until crumbly. Add evaporated milk or water until smooth and moldable.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the peanut butter mixture into egg forms the size of a golf ball. Place on the baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and paraffin or coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. Retrieve frozen peanut butter eggs, use a fork to dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coating. Allow excess to drip off.
  5. After dipping, apply extra chocolate to exposed areas if needed. Set on wax paper and optionally decorate. Let set at room temperature or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
