medium saucepan
baking sheet
Microwave-safe bowl

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup unsalted butter (½ stick)
1½ cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
12 ounces melting wafers (1 bag)

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, melt the peanut butter and butter together until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla until the mixture thickens.
Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Shape each spoonful into an oval egg shape. Place the eggs in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate, stirring every 30 seconds, until completely melted and smooth.
Use a fork to fully submerge each egg into the chocolate.
Tap off the excess chocolate, then set each egg back on the baking sheet to set.
