Copycat Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs
These Copycat Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs are so, so, so, so, so good! Better than the real thing, I’d say. And even better that you made it yourself. Come on, you can do it. You won’t regret taking the time to make these, promise!
I made them for Easter and drizzled with colored chocolate on top. The kids and my husband gobbled them up, and I wish I had made more. Thankfully I reserved half of the peanut butter batter, so I will be making more!
Have you ever had a Peanut Butter Buckeye? They are very similar to that. Sadly enough, I had a buckeye for the first time only a few years ago. I’m kinda feeling like I was deprived as a child. :)
You don’t have to make them into egg shapes. You can also roll them into balls and make chocolate peanut butter truffles and “wow” your friends. And coworkers. And kids. And grandma.
Recipe adapted from What Meghan’s Cooking. I forgot to take a photo of the inside, so I wanted to be sure you saw the creamy peanut butter middle.
Ingredients
- 1 lb + 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 2 sticks of butter, softened

- 1 lb melting chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Mix the first 3 ingredients together, form into egg shapes, and place onto wax paper.
