These peanut butter Easter candies are made with just a handful of ingredients, including peanut butter, chocolate chips, and powdered sugar. The result is a perfect balance of flavors that will leave your taste buds wanting more.
Mixing Up the Peanut Butter Filling
To make the filling for your peanut butter Easter candies, start by mixing together 1 cup of creamy peanut butter with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your liking, but keep in mind that the more sugar you add, the sweeter the filling will be. Use a spatula to mix the peanut butter and sugar until it forms a smooth paste.
Forming the Candies
Once your filling is ready, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and begin forming small balls using your hands. You can make them as big or as small as you like, but keep in mind that they will be coated in chocolate later on. Place the peanut butter balls on the parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Coating in Chocolate
After the peanut butter balls have chilled, it's time to coat them in chocolate. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Using a fork, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Place the coated candies back on the parchment paper and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
Decorating and Serving
To add a festive touch to your peanut butter Easter candies, you can decorate them with colorful sprinkles or drizzle melted white chocolate over the top. Once the chocolate has fully hardened, your candies are ready to serve. These treats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, but we doubt they will last that long!
Conclusion
Peanut butter Easter candies are a simple and delicious treat that will add a touch of sweetness to your holiday celebrations. With just a few ingredients and some refrigeration time, you can create a batch of these irresistible treats that everyone will love.
