These were quick and easy to make. I didn't change anything and they taste great. I did make smaller eggs and they turned out really well. Thanks for the recipe, that will become a keeper!

Awesome recipe! What I was looking for and more! I was in a pinch and needed to make my own PB Eggs, my kids said that these were "The Best" I used a good quality peanut butter (Jif) not the cheap stuff. The better brand of PB gives these a more PB taste...which is what we want. Also instead of the semi sweet chocolate and shortening, I went to a bulk food store and bought Milk Chocolate melting wafers. Very yummy! I already have had people requesting me to make these to sell and orders for next year. Wow! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us!! I'm sure these will become a tradition in my household :)

Absolutely delicious, peanut buttery and melt-in-your-mouth. Shaped them like buckeye balls and left upside without chocolate. Will definitely make them again. Hardly took me 10 minutes for shaping + 10 minutes one hour later to dip in chocolate.

These were a big hit!

Well... you just wouldn't believe what I did with this recipe!! First, I recognized this recipe to be very similar to 'buckeyes'. So, I decided to make numerous easter eggs (like the size of a cadbury egg - with a flat bottom so they can stand on their own) and decorate them with different colored chocolates. I changed the recipe just alittle and added 1 t. vanilla. 1/2 creamy and 1/2 crunchy peanut butter AND I added about 1 cup of Rice Krispys. After mixing, I shaped the eggs (I got 16 eggs from this recipe) and put them in the freezer for about an hour. I then dip each egg twice into the chocolate. (This takes a bit of time.) After that, I divided the white chocolate (& shortening) into smaller portions and added food coloring so I had White, Blue, Green and Pink colors. Using a spoon and one color at a time, I 'sprayed' each egg using a swift motion back and forth across the pan the eggs were in. I think they look very festive!! Happy Easter!

Instead of making eggs(Though I do plan to make them for easter)I made hearts for Valentines Day and gave them away, everyone who ate them liked them(My lil' hasn't ate his he's about as picky as they come!!!)But they tasted wonderfull and even without the peanut butter, which I left some uncoated to to me not using a double boiler and burning the chocolate, well my mom got to eat some since she eats no chocolate!!! Anyways the point is they're EASY to to make and they're delicious and they could be made for ANY occasion!!!

Thanks for sharing. I sent your recipe to friends and family.
