Good to Know
- Not just for Easter. The same filling can be shaped into pumpkins for Halloween, trees for Christmas, or hearts for Valentine’s Day.
- Which peanut butter? A regular creamy peanut butter gives the closest copycat texture. Natural peanut butter that separates makes a softer, oilier filling.
- Chill before dipping. A cold filling is much easier to coat neatly in chocolate.
- Prefer milk chocolate? The original candy uses milk chocolate, so milk chocolate melts are an easy swap if dark is too strong for your family.
- Storage: keep them in a covered container in the fridge, and let them sit out a few minutes before eating.
- Allergy note: these are made with peanut butter, so check before sharing at school or parties.
