Chocolate-Dipped Easter Eggs
Delight in the festive spirit with these customizable DIY Chocolate-Dipped Easter Eggs, filled with your choice of sweet filling and coated in rich chocolate.
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup peanut butter or your choice of filling (cream cheese, chocolate ganache, etc.)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for added shine)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
- Using your hands, form the filling into egg shapes and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 15-20 minutes until firm.
Chocolate Dipping
- Melt the chocolate chips (and coconut oil if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Remove the eggs from the freezer and dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Let the excess chocolate drip off and place them back on the parchment paper.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Serving
- Serve your DIY Chocolate-Dipped Easter Eggs to family and friends or hide them around the house for a fun Easter egg hunt!
Notes
Experiment with different fillings like cookie dough or chocolate mousse. For a thicker chocolate coating, dip a second time after the first layer sets.
