Whether you want a homemade version of a favorite candy or a sweet treat to share, these eggs will satisfy the craving of every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/serious-peanut-butter-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/serious-peanut-butter-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">peanut butter lover<\/a>. A rich and creamy peanut butter filling meets a smooth dark chocolate coating\u2014what could be better? Plus, they&#8217;re easy to personalize with decorations for an extra-festive touch.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Peanut Butter Eggs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Creamy peanut butter:<\/strong> This makes the filling rich and smooth, while delivering that beloved peanut butter flavor. You can use almond butter for a different taste or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Softened butter adds a creamy texture and helps bind the filling. You could try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-difference-between-butter-margarine-shortening-and-lard\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-difference-between-butter-margarine-shortening-and-lard\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">margarine<\/a> if you need a dairy-free option, though it may alter the flavor slightly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> Vanilla enhances the sweet, nutty flavor of the peanut butter. For a twist, use almond extract instead for a more aromatic note.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confectioners&#8217; sugar:<\/strong> This sugar softens the filling while maintaining a silky consistency. If you need a substitute, powdered coconut sugar can work, although it will add a bit of color and a caramel-like taste. Or, try your hand at making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-powdered-sugar\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-powdered-sugar\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade powdered sugar<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Graham cracker crumbs:<\/strong> In this recipe for homemade peanut butter eggs, graham crackers add a slight crunch and help the mixture hold together. Use gluten-free graham crackers or substitute finely crushed rice cereal for a gluten-free option.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark chocolate chips:<\/strong>\u00a0Milk chocolate can be used for a sweeter alternative, or use white chocolate for a different look and flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shortening:<\/strong> Shortening helps the chocolate set smoothly. You could substitute coconut oil, though it may add a faint coconut flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confectioners&#8217; sugar icing and sprinkles (optional):<\/strong> You could also use melted white chocolate or food coloring to customize your decorations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the peanut butter filling<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2105528\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Eggs_TOHcom25_42493_DR_01_08_09b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, butter and vanilla until blended.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Dan Roberts for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, butter and vanilla until blended.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2105529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Eggs_TOHcom25_42493_DR_01_08_10b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar and cracker crumbs.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Dan Roberts for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Gradually add the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-sugar\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-sugar\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">confectioners&#8217; sugar<\/a> and graham cracker crumbs, mixing until everything is combined.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2105530 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Peanut-Butter-Eggs_TOHcom25_42493_DR_01_08_11b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Shape mixture into 16 eggs; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Dan Roberts for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Shape the mixture into 16 eggs and place them on waxed paper-lined baking sheets.
