Hugs to all you sickos.
Pb eggs
1C peanut butter
1/4C unsalted butter
1/4C light brown sugar
1 1/4C powdered sugar
2C milk chocolate chips
2Tb Crisco
1)Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
2) In a saucepan, combine pb, butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Heat until completely melted and bubbling a little. Stir constantly.
3) Remove from heat, and add powdered sugar 1/4 C at a time and stir. Set aside and cool to room temperature.
4) Scoop out pb mixture, and form into desired shape. Plastic eggs can be used. It should slide right out. I use my hands to make a roll, then squish my hands against the ends to make an egg shape.
Refrigerate 30 mins.
5) Melt the chocolate and Crisco in the microwave at 30 second increments. Stir each time.
Dip each egg, using a fork to flip it over and lift it out. Allow extra to drop off, and place on the wax paper. Sprinkle any decorations on at this time. Or, use the end of a paintbrush to write or draw.
Return to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set. If they make it long enough, store in a closed container in the fridge. You can freeze them too.
There is usually leftover chocolate.
