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.

Old-Fashioned Giblet Stuffing
If you like old-fashioned giblet stuffing, you'll want to try this recipe. It makes enough to stuff an 18-pound turkey or to fill a 2-quart dish.
Chewy Peanut Butter Brownies
These peanut butter brownies have been a favorite in my family since I was a small child. Because they're so popular, I usually double the recipe. Great with chocolate frosting!
Indian Naan
This is an authentic Indian naan recipe that's broiled instead of pan-fried. I have made it many times. It goes well with Indian curry dishes that have a lot of gravy, such as butter chicken.
