Super easy and simple homemade Reese's eggs are the perfect sweet treat for Easter! They require only a few ingredients and no baking time!I have made these three times throughout the past three days. Needless to say they are amazing and delicious. They taste as close to a Reese's that homemade can get!
A few things:
You can use more powdered sugar up to a cup. I originally used a cup and then made it with half a cup the last two times and liked it just as much.
What if I don't have powdered sugar? You can easily make your own by throwing regular sugar into a blender and blending until powdery.
Make sure you line a baking sheet with parchment paper. It will help prevent any sticking.
You can double or triple the recipe! You can make any shape or size with these.
Toppings would be amazing on these homemade Reese's eggs. Things like crushed peanuts, shredded coconut or even sprinkles.
Not much to say on this recipe other than I hope you enjoy these homemade Reese's eggs! Happy Easter!
Homemade Reese's Eggs
homemade Reese's eggs
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp butter, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 tbsp coconut oil
With an electric beater, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter and vanilla. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
With your hands, grab approx. a tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture and roll into an oval shape to resemble an egg. Place on the baking sheet. Reapeat until all of the mixture has been used.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or the fridge for 1 hour.
Put the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Microwave again for 30 seconds and stir until completely melted.
Dip the peanut butter eggs into the chocolate and completely coat. Put the eggs back on the parchment lined baking sheet and freeze to set. Store in the fridge.
