How to cook deliciously - Peanut Butter Eggs

1. Stage

Beat confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, and butter in a large mixing bowl until well blended; mix in milk if needed for moisture. Divide mixture in half and form into two large eggs. Place eggs onto on a wax paper-lined plate and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

2. Stage

When the eggs are almost ready, combine chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Melt over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.

3. Stage

Remove eggs from the freezer. Carefully stick a long-tined fork in the top of an egg; gently dip it in melted chocolate until covered, then return it to the waxed paper. Repeat to dip remaining egg. Decorate as desired. Unknown
