Peanut Butter Eggs
These easy-to-make confections are a must for me at Easter. Have youngsters help shape the eggs, then reward them with some of the chocolaty candies.

So easy to make and taste good! Even added Easter sprinkles on top of the egg. Will be freezing them also. I am originally from Lancaster,PA and now live in RI,and you just can't find homemade eggs up here. It's all about Reese's!!! Thanks
Very rich! Too sweet for all the adults in our house.
Just made these - so many!! But they are incredibly sweet, too sweet for my taste. I am used to more of a "fancy candy shop" peanut butter filling, which has a smoother, less sugary/pasty texture. I am sure most kids would like these, though.
This was the tradition cream cheese egg I was looking for. Everyone loved them. I used my crock pot on low to melt the chocolate and dip. It melted it without burning it. It took me just under three bags of wiltons.
made these with my 12 and 3 year old this morning. We had some after lunch and they are very good. My 12 year old said they are better than Reese's!
