Copycat Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs {Recipe Repeat}

Even though Easter is coming later this year, it is still coming too fast for me! I think the weather is partly to blame for my lack of Easter prep...it hasn't felt like Spring! But with the Easter Bunny arriving this weekend, I better get myself in gear. One thing that is a 'must have' around here, as far as Easter candy goes, are peanut butter eggs. Chocolate covered, peanut butter filled, shaped like eggs....yes, please. 

Lucky for us, (lucky being a relative term here), I discovered how to easily whip these up at home with just a few ingredients, and no BUTTER. Don't get me wrong, butter is awesome. However, I don't want to eat it when it's not necessary...you know, the whole 'moment on the lips, lifetime on the hips' thing. I'm not saying these peanut butter eggs are healthy, but there are no weird ingredients, no added butter, and they taste awesome.

 

The filling is only 3 ingredients and then it's dipped in chocolate. In my experience, regular peanut butter works better than natural peanut butter, but natural peanut butter can be used if you chill the dough well (the filling get's soft and hard to dip otherwise.) I also recommend doubling the posted recipe, because they are that good! HERE is the link to the original post. Enjoy!
