I make these wonderful chocolate-covered peanut butter candies in the shape of eggs at Easter time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cups butter
- 3.5 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 package semisweet chocolate chips , 12 ounce
- 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.

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.

Lemon Syllabub
A syllabub is a deliciously light, creamy, sophisticated little dessert from days gone by. I first tasted it at a supper given by a lecturer in seventeenth-century literature when I was in college, and it took my taste buds right back to the Restoration. It can be prepared as either a parfait or a punch, but as it contains alcohol, you may not want to serve this to younger family members. Eat it with a small spoon — and savor it!
