Reese’s peanut butter cups are delicious, but there’s something about the seasonal Reese’s eggs that are even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps it’s the increased peanut butter to chocolate ratio or the adorable shape. Whatever the reason, peanut butter eggs rank high on my list of Easter treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucky for me, I’ve finally figured out how to make peanut butter Easter eggs at home. The peanut butter filling is perfectly salty and sweet like a classic Reese’s, and the milk chocolate coating beautifully covers the entire egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the entire batch for yourself, or wrap them up to gift to friends and family this season. Everyone will love this no-bake recipe! <\/p>\n\n\n
