Peanut Butter Eggs
1 lb. (about 3 1/2 cups) powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
4 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup butter or marg, softened
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Mix together with hands until thoroughly blended. Shape into eggs. Chill until firm. Dip in chocolate coating.
To melt chocolate for coating, a crockpot on low heat works well. It keeps the chocolate at a uniform heat.
