🥚 Homemade Peanut Butter Eggs: Reese’s Copycat Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Peanut Butter Eggs, once one of my favorite Easter candies, just don’t hit the same these days. I loved them as a child, but somewhere between childhood and adulthood, something changed—and it wasn’t just my taste buds growing up. Now when I eat one, the filling seems overly sweet and artificial, and the chocolate is waxy and flavorless. Womp-woooomp<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news? Making your own peanut butter eggs at home isn’t just easy—it’s a complete game-changer! This recipe yields peanut butter eggs the way I think they SHOULD be: with a thick chocolate shell, and a soft but slightly crumbly filling packed with sweet-and-salty peanut butter flavor. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I already have one recipe for peanut butter eggs on SugarHero – these pastel-decorated peanut butter Easter egg candies<\/a>, made using a chocolate mold. They’re tasty and gorgeous, but a bit difficult to make without advanced planning, since you have to have the right candy mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe, I wanted to keep things simple and recreate Reese’s eggs as closely as possible, so we’re ditching the chocolate mold and dipping the peanut butter filling in chocolate instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filling is the best part. It’s easy (made with just 6 common ingredients!), just the slightest bit crumbly (just like a regular Reese’s egg), and has a strong nutty flavor. You’ll want to eat it with a spoon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of the filling – you can use this same filling to make Buckeyes, or homemade peanut butter cups…or even Mega Peanut Butter Cups<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n
