3-Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs Recipe (Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs Copycat)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

You only need 3 ingredients for this Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs Recipe, and it tastes just like Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs! Whip them up for Easter or whenever you’re in the mood for that magical chocolate + peanut butter combination.

3-Ingredient Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Eggs

As a kid, I always thought Easter had the best candy as far as holidays go.

Jelly Belly jelly beans, Cadbury cream eggs, and Reese’s peanut butter eggs all in one day! (omg, not to mention Sponge Candy.) What kid wouldn’t go crazy? (First of excitement and then of a sugar rush.)

Those were the days, but I’m telling you, these days are better.

As a grown-up, I get to make a version of one of my favorite childhood candy that tastes even better. Plus, it only requires three ingredients, comes together in 20 minutes, and is fun to make with kiddos.

If I wasn’t already, I’d be all over this recipe like a cheap suit.

Make these “for the kid’s Easter baskets” and help yourself to one. Or maybe two.

Or maybe just go ahead and hide these for you and give the kids the store-bought Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs.

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 20 minutes

Author: Faith Gorsky

Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter no-sugar-added peanut butter; the kind that you have to stir before using
  • 6 ounces milk chocolate
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Stir the powdered sugar and peanut butter together in a large bowl until well combined. When it gets too hard to stir, use your hands to knead it so it comes together.
  • Divide the peanut butter mix into 8 equal pieces. Squeeze each piece with your hands to help it stick together and roll it between your palms, shaping each into an egg shape.
  • Place the peanut butter eggs on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap and put in the freezer until stiffened, about 15 minutes.
  • Dip each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate and place it on a wire rack to let the chocolate harden.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Helpful Tips

  • If you have extra chocolate, you can pour it out onto a parchment paper-lined plate and let it harden. Snack on it or store it for use next time.
  • Instead of milk chocolate, you can use dark chocolate or a mixture of milk and dark chocolate.

    I love how easy this is! Since going vegan it’s really expensive to find dairy-free peanut butter cups let alone holiday candy. I can’t wait to try this!

    These look incredible and with 3 ingredients, look easy enough. Thanks so much! I’ve seen different ones that include graham cracker crumbs and other ingredients, but this seems like a winner to me. :)
