Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs

Combine butter, sugar, peanut butter and vanilla in mixer. For easier handling, refrigerate for about 1 hour after mixing. Roll into a 2-inch log, then pinch one end to shape like an egg. Press thumb on top to flatten. Lay on wax paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.

Melt chocolate and vanilla candy coating in separate dishes, according to package directions. Using 2 forks, dip each egg into chocolate (or vanilla), tap off the extra coating and lay it on a piece of parchment. Repeat until all eggs are coated.

Decorate as desired (see tips below). Allow eggs to set (about 10 minutes). I store mine in refrigerator for best flavor!

Decorating tips:
Melt various colors of candy coating in small bowls. Put in a Ziploc bag and snip of the corner. Decorate.
To decorate with sprinkles, re-dip the egg into desired chocolate (or vanilla) and add sprinkles immediately.
To make the bunny, use a toothpick to dot on the eyes with chocolate. Then use the vanilla bark to attach 2 jimmies (for the ears) and half a mini marshmallow (for the tail).
