Peanut butter eggs coated in white chocolate, finished with sprinkles—perfect for festive sharing or gifting.

# Components:

→ Peanut Butter Filling

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
03 - 2 cups powdered sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - Pinch of salt

→ Coating & Decoration

06 - 2 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
07 - 2 teaspoons coconut oil, optional
08 - 1/4 cup assorted colorful sprinkles

# Method:

01 - Combine creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until fully blended and smooth.
02 - Gradually incorporate powdered sugar, mixing continuously until a thick, smooth dough develops.
03 - Portion dough into tablespoon-sized pieces. Roll and mold each portion into an egg shape. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 - Refrigerate shaped eggs for 30 minutes to ensure firmness.
05 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second bursts, stirring after each interval until fully smooth.
06 - Submerge chilled peanut butter eggs in melted white chocolate, coating thoroughly. Allow excess coating to drip off, then return each egg to the parchment-lined tray.
07 - Immediately embellish coated eggs with assorted colorful sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
08 - Chill decorated eggs for 10 minutes to set the coating.
09 - Keep eggs refrigerated in an airtight container until serving.
