Let's make some peanut butter Easter eggs!

INGREDIENTS:

1 (32 oz.) package 10 x confectioner's sugar
2 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 stick butter
3 tbsp. vanilla
2 (12 oz.) bags Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips (or any high grade chocolate)

DIRECTIONS:

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sugar, peanut butter, butter, and milk until well blended.

Shape the peanut butter mixture into large size eggs (palm size). Refrigerate overnight.

In a double broiler, add chocolate and shorting.

When the chocolate has melted, place a large fork or spoon under egg shaped peanut butter mixture and coat both sides with the chocolate. Place on wax paper to drain and cool.
