My husband loves Reese’s Peanut Butter eggs, buckeyes or anything like them. I decided I was going to make some homemade peanut butter eggs for him this year, then I thought well why not make a giant one?!
It was probably easier to make one large one than shape and dip a bunch of small ones anyways.
I’m fairly lazy so I decided to just buy the chocolate melts from Ghirardelli, plus their chocolate is super yummy. You could also use chocolate almond bark or even chocolate chips mixed with oil/shortening. Remember you only melt HALF of the chocolate to start with!!!
My daughter said I should have decorated it, but the real ones are just plain chocolate. Plus this was way easier.

This giant egg looks so yummy, I’m salivating just thinking about it. I must make this soon but unfortunately, it doesn’t look sugar~Free {like that would stop me}. Lol
Thanks!
Does it need to stay in the fridge after it is done? Or can it sit out for a while?
Hi. Once the chocolate has set up, you can leave it sit out. Happy Easter!
