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.
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.

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

Haven’t celebrated Easter… until perhaps now! You made me curious! :)
Wow, who knew that these amazing treats are so simple!! I must try this. Amazing!
ok the most immaculate thing i have seen in awhile. your skill is beyod what i can comprehend…id make these and they would be messy but yours are just PERFECT
I love Reece’s Eggs too. There is something special about the salty peanut butter with the sweet chocolate that I just LOVE! And I LOVE LOVE Love that you figured out how to make them from scratch.
Wow, how good do these look?? I could probably eat two or three in one sitting :)
these looks so delicious WAY better than the original if you ask me :)
I love making peanut butter eggs! I can’t wait to try your version!
You just knocked me out with these, Faith! I love how simple you went with the ingredients – just gorgeous!!!
We don’t celebrate Easter, but I’m a huge peanut butter and chocolate fan – and besides, I know a bunch of kids I could really impress with these. They look fabulous!!
My boys would love these!
seriously I don’t think there is anything better than a giant Reese’s egg – LOVE this
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!
I agree with you on the awesomeness of Easter candy! I was at Target last night drooling over it all. The peanut butter eggs are one of my favorites and yours are perfect!
These are so cute. They are so egg shaped. Reminds me of Easter when I was a child.
I’ve been wanting to make some homemade Easter candy that isn’t overly complicated. You can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter!
I love that you made your own eggs and made them with peanut butter! This is the one Easter treat I always long for.
I didn’t know it was so easy!
I make homemade reeses cups with the same ingredients–but eggs are the best! Will do this for my kids ASAP
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. :)
WHOA! These look PERFECT! Nice work! I’ve never tried making my own candy….it makes me nervous ;)
