  4. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. Dip each egg into the chocolate and then place back on the parchment lined baking sheet.

Equipment

You’ll need the following equipment to make these Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Easter Eggs:

  • Medium bowl
  • Parchment lined baking sheet
  • Double boiler or microwave

Notes

Be sure to use creamy peanut butter for this recipe. The texture of the dough will be much easier to work with if you use creamy peanut butter rather than crunchy.

If you don’t have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Heat them in 30 second increments, stirring after each increment, until the chocolate is completely melted.
