Ingredients

• 1 , 16 ounce
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter , softened
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 8 , 1 ounce
• 1 tablespoon shortening

Instructions

1. 1 Beat confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, and butter in a large mixing bowl until well blended; mix in milk if needed for moisture. Divide mixture in half and form into two large eggs (or smaller eggs if you prefer). Place eggs onto on a wax paper-lined plate and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
2. 2 When eggs are almost ready, combine chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Melt over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
3. 3 Remove eggs from the freezer. Carefully stick a long-tined fork in the top of an egg; gently dip it in melted chocolate until covered, then return it to the waxed paper. Repeat to dip remaining egg. Decorate chocolate eggs as desired.
