Steps:
- Mix the butter and cream cheese together. (I put mine in the microwave for 40 secs. to soften), then cream together.
- Add the confectionary sugar about 1 cup at a time, and mix well. (I use my hands to mix it all in).
- Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt, and mix until well-blended. (I use my hands to mix it all in).
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hours (I stick the bowl in the freezer for about 1/2 hr., to harden the dough.
- Form the peanut butter mixture into egg shapes, then refrigerate again for at least 1 hour (Again, I put them in the freezer instead of the fridge).
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave oven or in a double boiler. (I had better results using a double boiler, because the steaming water helps the chips to stay creamy longer).
- Quickly place the eggs, doing one at a time, in the chocolate mixture to coat the bottom, then lift it with a thin spatulda, and with a knife I spread all along the sides and top of the egg, then with the knife I fluff the top of the chocolate to make the eggs look pretty. Just press down on the chocolate and lift up, with a butter knife. Do it all over the top of the egg.
- You have to work quickly while the eggs are frozen, as the heat from the chocolate chips makes them soft again rather quickly. If you notice them getting too soft, stick them back in the freezer for a few minutes.
- Arrange the chocolate coated eggs on a waxed paper lined tray, and allow the chocolate to harden. (I stick mine in the freezer for easier handling when coating with the chocolate).
- Place each peanut butter egg in a paper candy cup.
- You can decorate your eggs with pastel colored Easter sprinkles or pastel jimmies, found in the cake/decorating section at the grocery store.

BUTTER CREAM EASTER EGG CANDIES
My grandmother used to make these every year at Easter. They taste very similar to the 'Mary Sue' butter cream Easter eggs that they used to sell during Easter-time when I was a kid.

- Cream butter, sugar and peanut butter until well combined. Add in vanilla. Sprinkle flour and salt on top of mixture, then stir until incorporated. Stir in Reese's Pieces.
- Turn dough onto a piece of parchment paper (or wax paper) and fold paper over so that it covers the top of the dough. Roll dough out until about 1/2" thick. Use a small Easter Egg cookie cutter to cut eggs out of the dough, setting eggs on a parchment covered baking pan. Roll dough again as needed, until all dough has been shaped into eggs. (I have this 18-piece Wilton Spring cookie cutter set- I love it and that's where I got my 2 1/2" egg cookie cutter from.)
- Melt the chocolate, separating 2-3 TBSP of each, white and dark melting chocolate into small bags with the corners cut, for drizzling. I love using Chocoley Dipping & Coating Chocolate because it’s super easy to use and it tastes fantastic. (not like wax!) The trick to melting chocolate in the microwave is to go slowly and stir gently- and just before you feel like it's completely melted, take it out of the microwave and let it finish melting in the warm bowl. This time I used the large tubs of Chocoley Dipping chocolate, which are so handy! I melted them for 2 minutes, then stirred gently and warmed for another 30 seconds, then they were ready. I can re-use the tubs and bonus- no having to wash dishes!
