DIRECTIONS
In a heavy saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in the cereals and peanuts.
When cool enough to handle, drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. From into egg shapes. Refrigerate until firm. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip eggs in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until set.

Yum, yum, yum!!! Though a little messy, these weren't hard to make, and are delicious! My only change was that I added 4 full c. of chocolate chips and roughly doubled the shortening (we tried it with the stated amount, but it was way to thick). I am taking these to the office in the morning, and I can't wait, because the sample I had was amazing!

These eggs were definitely quick and easy to make, and extremely rich! I couldn't finish one small egg without a hugh glass of milk. I liked the crunch that the cereals and nuts added but still a little too rich for me. My husband thought they were excellent. I used Bakers brand semi-sweet chocolate in the box and had great results. The eggs covered well and had a nice smooth and glossy look when finished. I only made half a recipe and one eight ounce box was plenty.
