Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs

1. 1

   Combine butter, sugar, peanut butter and vanilla in mixer. For easier handling, refrigerate for about 1 hour after mixing. Roll into a 2-inch log, then pinch one end to shape like an egg. Press thumb on top to flatten. Lay on wax paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Melt chocolate and vanilla candy coating in separate dishes, according to package directions. Using 2 forks, dip each egg into chocolate (or vanilla), tap off the extra coating and lay it on a piece of parchment. Repeat until all eggs are coated.

3. 3

   Decorate as desired (see tips below). Allow eggs to set (about 10 minutes). I store mine in refrigerator for best flavor!
