Butterfinger Easter Eggs
- 2 cups Candy Corn
- 15 ounces, weight Creamy Peanut Butter - Not The All-Natural Kind
- 1 Tablespoon Crisco
- 12 ounces, weight Dark Cocoa Candy Melts
- In a medium-sized microwave safe glass bowl, melt candy corn in the microwave for 1 minute. Mix and repeat for 15 second intervals until the candy is melted. With a silicone spatula, mix in peanut butter. Place it in the refrigerator for two hours.
- Scoop the mixture out with a teaspoon, and then roll between your palms, forming an egg shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate the eggs for at least 1 hour.
- In a microwave safe small glass bowl, melt the candy melts and Crisco in the microwave for 1 minute. Mix and repeat for 15 second intervals until the candy is melted.
- Gently drop the eggs in the chocolate one at a time, completely coating the egg surface. Shake any excess chocolate off as you remove the eggs from the chocolate on top of the tines of a fork. Place coated eggs on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate the eggs for at least 15 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the refrigerator and break off any excess chocolate globs using your hands or a sharp knife.
- Place the eggs onto a cookie rack on top of a baking sheet lined with wax paper or tin foil. Reheat the leftover chocolate and drizzle the eggs with the tines of a fork, or by using a decorating bottle or parchment paper bag filled with the melted chocolate.
- Leaving the cookie rack on top of the baking sheet, place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, before packaging in an airtight container.
