I make these wonderful chocolate-covered peanut butter candies in the shape of eggs at Easter time.
2 cups creamy peanut butter
¾ cup butter
3 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
3 cups crispy rice cereal
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
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.
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.
