Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Eggs...whhhaaaaattt???




Crunchy chocolaty shell, smooth peanut-butter-cream-cheesy center... You're gonna love these!

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese
2 Cups smooth (or crunchy if you like) peanut butter
3 Tbsp earth balance (softened)
1⁄2 pound of powdered sugar
1⁄2 tsp salt
1 1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract
24 oz (2 bags) chocolate chips (I used whole foods bulk chocolate chips)

Mix all ingredients together (except the chocolate) with a mixer until smooth.  Scoop into little balls and place on a wax paper covered cookie sheet.  I think my mixture made about 55.  Place in the freezer for at least an hour.

When they're frozen, melt chocolate on medium - low.  Be so careful not to burn the chocolate - it sucks.  Dip the balls - eggs - haha oh my -whatever you'd like to call them in the melted chocolate and place on a wax paper covered cookie sheet or plate.  I used a fork to fish them out.  You should get a nice thick layer of chocolate.

When they're cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator....if they even make it that far....

enjoy!!


















p.s. isn't my easter plate so cute?!
