Homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs

Ingredients

• 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
• 0.25 cup Butter (melted with peanut butter)
• 1.5 cup Powdered sugar
• Flaky sea salt (for sprinkling)
• 0.5 cup Fruit preserves (strawberry or raspberry recommended)
• 1.5 cup Chocolate chips (melted for dipping)

Steps

1. 1

   In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the peanut butter and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.

2. 2

   Remove the peanut butter mixture from the heat and add 1.5 cups of powdered sugar. Blend thoroughly until a dough-like consistency forms.

3. 3

   Let the peanut butter mixture sit and cool for approximately 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Prepare a silicone egg-shaped mold by lightly sprinkling a little flaky salt into the bottom of each cavity.

5. 5

   Press the peanut butter mixture into the molds, filling them just enough to cover the bottom and reach the edges, leaving room for the preserves.

6. 6

   Add a small spoonful of fruit preserves into the center of each peanut butter egg.

7. 7

   Place the mold in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.

8. 8

   Remove from the freezer. Take two halves and press them together to form a full egg shape (or leave as halves if preferred).

9. 9

   Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.

10. 10

    Dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate until fully coated.

11. 11

    Place the coated eggs on a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle the tops with more flaky salt.

12. 12

    Return the eggs to the freezer for another 30 minutes until the chocolate is completely set.

13. 13

    Store the finished eggs in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

The creator recommends using high-quality preserves for the center. These treats are best kept refrigerated to maintain the texture of the peanut butter filling.
