Peanut Butter and Chocolate 'Easter Eggs' (V, V+, GF)

Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 6 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 9 ounces vegan chocolate ( I use Enjoy Life Chips)
  • Adapted from Food Network
Directions
  • Step 1 Blend vegan butter, peanut butter and vanilla in a blender and then slowly add the confectioner sugar while blending in thoroughly.
  • Step 2 Prepare a tray lined with parchment paper and scoop a heaping tablespoon and shape it into an egg shape. (I find it easy to round the dough then press onto the sheet and elongate). Set this on the tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Step 3 Melt the chocolate pieces in a double boiler stirring constantly, or in a microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after every 30 seconds.
  • Step 4 Using a fork under the peanut butter egg, dip into the chocolate and then set on the parchment paper on the tray.
  • Step 5 Sprinkle with decorations if you want.
  • Step 6 Place the tray in the tray back into the refrigerator for 30 minutes and then place them into an airtight container until ready to serve!
