Peanut Butter Easter Eggs- Easy and No Cream Cheese

Realtor by day, Chef by night's Note:

These have no cream cheese so you can safely place these little cuties right in the Easter baskets without worry. You can personalize these for your family and make a bunch of smaller eggs or one or two big ones. You choose the size.

These were a big hit with DH and the kids! I used less sugar as it seemed it would be too much and they turned out great!

These were very good. I found it easy to adjust the amount of sugar to the level of sweetness my family likes. Personally, I need some tips on the dipping process. They weren't pretty, but they sure disappeared quickly!
