Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
I make these wonderful chocolate-covered peanut butter candies in the shape of eggs at Easter time.
creamy peanut butter
2
cups
butter
¾
cup
confectioners' sugar
3 ½
cups
crispy rice cereal
3
cups
semisweet chocolate chips
1
(12 ounce) package
shortening
2
tablespoons
 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.
