Read my review of this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 18 ounces peanut butter
  • Chocolate wafers (melting chocolate used for candy making)
  • Paraffin wax (Baker’s wax, cooking wax)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. Scoop mixture using a medium cookie scooper (1 1/2 tablespoons), and roll into an egg shape. Allow to dry on wax paper or parchment paper before dipping in chocolate.

Melt chocolate and wax over a double boiler. Roll eggs in melted chocolate and allow to harden on wax paper or parchment paper. You will need 1 pound of chocolate and 2 ounces of wax per 100 eggs.

Makes 3 dozen eggs.
