Nana Margaret always hid a batch of these in the back of the fridge so the kids would not eat them all at once. They are dangerously easy to make.

These homemade peanut butter eggs are the kind of treat you have to hide in the back of the fridge, just like my Nana Margaret used to do. They’re dangerously easy to make with just peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and chocolate chips, and they taste like something straight from a small-town bakery case.
