Is this picture making your teeth hurt? Yes? Does it make your mouth tingle? You're on the right track! These are sickeningly sweet and delicious. Perfect for Easter. You can shape the "dough" into any shape you want. Don't make a whole recipe unless you're giving them away. Makes a ton. Better than the store-bought version.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (18 ounce) jar creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (2 pound) package confectioners' sugar
6 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup shortening

2. In a microwave-safe bowl or heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips and shortening: stir until smooth. Dip eggs until coated; place on waxed paper to harden.
3. For more decorative eggs, place about 1/4 cup melted chocolate in a small plastic bag. Cut a hole in the corner of the bag; pipe chocolate over tops of eggs.
Store in the refrigerator.
