These are the most decadent peanut butter eggs. They are delicious, velvety smooth and so addictive. The chocolate gets a little awkward thick towards the end and doesn't make such pretty eggs, but they're still good. Mailed them to daughter, they melted a little. She chilled them and they were fine and still very good.
