Peanut Butter Eggs

To see pictures go Here.

For Filling:
* 1--18oz jar of peanut butter (creamy or crunchy according to your taste)
* 2 sticks melted butter
* 5 cups powdered sugar.

For chocolate coating:
* 1 lb chocolate
* 2 tablespoons oil

1. Blend the filling ingredients together in a mixer. It will look a little dry and crumbly, but it should shape easily and stick together when you squeeze it. Hand shape it into eggs or truffles (or sprinkle a mold with powdered sugar)and then dip in melted chocolate (I suggest milk chocolate for these). Put in the fridge until they dry/harden and enjoy!

2. To melt/temper the chocolate: I put the chocolate in my sauce pan on low (maybe a 2-3 out of 10 if your range has numbers). Add the oil and stir occasionally to keep it melting evenly.
