Peanut Butter Easter Eggs

I make these wonderful chocolate-covered peanut butter candies in the shape of eggs at Easter time.



Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
Ingredients
  1. 2 cups creamy peanut butter

  2. ¾ cup butter

  3. 3 ½ cups confectioners' sugar

  4. 3 cups crispy rice cereal

  5. 1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips

  6. 2 tablespoons shortening

Instructions
    1. Combine peanut butter and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth; stir in confectioners' sugar and crisp rice cereal until a dough is formed. Refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour to allow it to be easier to work with. Shape mixture into egg shapes and freeze for 20 minutes.

    2. Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler over low heat until smooth; dip egg shapes into chocolate. Place on waxed paper and allow to cool.
