These are really good, but not exactly the ones my grandmother made that I was hoping to duplicate.

I made these for Easter. They are delicious. I will make them again as peanut butter balls instead of eggs. I think that bite size would be better. The chocolate gets very soft if left out of the fridge. Less shortening would probably make the chocolate stay more firm.

This was really easy to make and I found that the easyest way to make the egg shape was to use a ice cream scooper, which made the perfect size and I was able to get 16 eggs out of it. Very cute for an Easter snack..!!!

This dessert is WONDERFUL and I always make excuses to make it year round! I make peanut butter balls and decorate them with appropriate colored sprinkles for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they are ALWAYS a huge hit!

Great recipe! For kmandres, Nabisco makes packaged graham cracker crumbs, probably other brands as well. Check out the baking supplies aisle at your supermarket!
