- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothing the chocolate)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
- Shape the peanut butter mixture into egg-shaped balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches long. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

- Chill in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve and enjoy!
