Peanut Butter Chocolate Eggs

Peanut Butter Chocolate EggsSteve Pool

Who doesn't love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter? These eggs are like an upscale version of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. You can actually make them in any mold you like, but I generally make them egg-shaped. To do it my way, you will need plastic or polycarbonate egg molds (see tips, below) to make perfectly shaped ovals. They are avilable in various sizes at most candy- and cake-supply stores. Make sure that they are very clean and dry before using, or the chocolate will stick.

Note that you are not making whole egg shapes, but rather an open half that will be filled with the peanut butter mixture.
