A quick and simple no-bake recipe for creamy peanut butter filled Easter eggs coated in smooth chocolate, perfect for festive treats without oven fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250 g) creamy unsalted peanut butter
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt for sprinkling
  • Optional: mini chocolate chips for filling
  • Optional: almond butter instead of peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, firm enough to hold shape but soft enough to press.
  2. Shape the Eggs: Take small spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture and press firmly into silicone egg molds. Smooth the tops. Place the mold on a baking sheet or plate and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips with vegetable or coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy. Avoid overheating.
  4. Coat the Eggs: Remove peanut butter eggs from freezer. Dip each egg carefully into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Set the Eggs: Let chocolate-coated eggs sit at room temperature or refrigerate until chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes. Optionally sprinkle sea salt on top before chocolate sets.
  6. Remove from Molds & Serve: Once set, gently pop eggs out of molds. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use creamy peanut butter for smooth texture. Sift powdered sugar to avoid lumps. Proper freezing before dipping helps eggs keep shape. Mix oil into chocolate for a shiny, smooth coating. Can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for allergies. Vegan and dairy-free versions possible with ingredient swaps.
