Simple Homemade Peanut Butter Eggs

With just four basic ingredients, these homemade peanut butter eggs are super easy to prepare for Easter!
Anything with peanut butter is always one of my favorites. I have always been that kid who took a PB&J sandwich for lunch - even when I became a teacher, it was always one of my favorites to bring to school. And if you add chocolate to the peanut butter mixture, Yum! Not on the sandwich, of course… but in the delicacies!
One of my favorite Easter treats is Reese's peanut butter eggs. I always love a good cup of peanut butter, but there's just something about these eggs that make them delicious!
So when I came across a recipe from It's Always Autumn for homemade peanut butter eggs, I knew I just had to try them! Using only a few basic ingredients that I already had in my pantry, these peanut butter eggs were a lot easier to make than I thought, plus they taste so much like the real thing!
