Hop to It and Make These Ghirardelli Dipped Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
It’s beginning to look a lot like Easter at Brit HQ. We’ve been churning out Easter egg ideas like candy-filled place cards, DIY Easter baskets and decorations galore. Now, we’re turning our attention to the sweet stuff — candy! Peanut Butter Eggs, to be exact. We’ve teamed up with Ghirardelli to show you how to whip up colorful peanut butter eggs for your Easter celebrations using their White and Dark Candy Making products. Warning: These babies will go FAST, so be sure to make a few extra for yourself :)
Ingredients:
Line a baking sheet or tray with waxed paper. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and cream cheese. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 30 seconds or until mixture is slightly softened. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla.
