Homemade Reese’s peanut butter eggs are a no-bake treat featuring a creamy peanut butter filling coated in smooth chocolate, shaped like festive eggs. Perfect for Easter or year-round indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
  • 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until a thick dough forms.
  2. Shape the dough into eggs by hand or with a cookie cutter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Freeze the shaped eggs for 30–45 minutes until firm.
  4. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Dip each frozen egg in chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, letting excess drip off.
  6. Place dipped eggs back on the baking sheet and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until set.
  7. Store chilled or at room temperature in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use processed peanut butter for best consistency; natural peanut butter may be too oily.
  • Chilling the shaped eggs before dipping helps keep their form during coating.
  • Decorate with sprinkles or colored drizzle before chocolate sets for a festive look.
  • Shape into other holiday-themed designs with cookie cutters.
