Ingredients

  • 2 cups salted peanuts
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 10 oz milk chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

  • Begin by adding the salted peanuts, granulated sugar, canola oil and vanilla into a food processor.
  • Turn the food processor on and let it run for about 4-5 minutes. The peanuts will get chopped up, then go to a thick ball and then start to smooth. Once it is spreadable (it will still be thick), stop the food processor and transfer the peanut butter to a stand mixer.
  • To the stand mixer, add the powdered sugar and combine with the homemade peanut butter on low/medium speed until a thick dough forms.
  • Place some plastic wrap onto the counter and then roll out the dough until approx 3/4 inch thick.
  • Use a small egg shaped cookie cutter to cut the dough. Place the cut out dough on a parchment or silicone lined cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • When the 30 minutes is almost up, heat the milk chocolate melting wafers in the microwave according to the directions on the package so they are completely melted.
  • Remove the egg-shaped peanut butter from the freezer and dip each egg into the melted chocolate, coating completely before setting on a silicone mat or parchment paper to set completely. You may need to refreeze undipped peanut butter eggs while coating other eggs so they are cold and easier to dip.
  • Allow chocolate covered eggs to set up on the pan.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
