So have I told you about this super fun blogging group I’m in?? It’s called the Surprise Recipe Swap! Each month, I’m assigned to a blog and I get to pick a recipe to make & write about it. Someone in return is assigned to my blog. The 20th of each month is always the big reveal. If you’re interested in joining our blogging group, click on image above and you’ll be directed to sign up form. It’s a great way to network with other bloggers and find some great recipes!
This month, I had the pleasure of poking around Spatulas on Parade. Dawn is a mom, grandma, country gal & an animal lover. On her blog, she shares the recipes she makes for her family. Dawn loves to cook and bake, so she has something for everyone.
I’ve noticed when it comes to Surprise Recipe Swap, I always check out dessert recipes first. It’s a good excuse for me to make sweet treats. 
As soon as I saw Dawn’s recipe for Marshmallow Peanut Butter Eggs, I knew I found the prefect recipe to feature. It’s the perfect treat to share for Easter….and I’m totally obsessed with peanut butter & chocolate desserts. These little eggs taste just like (if not better!!) what you can buy in the Easter isle at the store. I take that back — these peanut butter eggs are better — they have sprinkles.
The best part of this recipe — marshmallow fluff! I’ve had a jar of marshmallow fluff just sitting in my pantry, waiting to be used. Well thanks Dawn, you’ve unleashed a Marshmallow Fluff Monster. I love the consistency and sweetness it gives these little peanut butter eggs! And since I only used half of the jar, I’m searching for recipes on Pinterest to find more ways to use it.
Easter is just over a week away — make these cute little Marshmallow Peanut Butter Eggs for the perfect Easter treat!
Ingredients
- 12 tbsp butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 14 oz peanut butter
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 tsp vanilla
- dark chocolate chips or candy bark for coating
- Sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Put the butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar in a bowl. Mix on medium speed with a hand mixer. Mix for about 2 minutes or until the consistency is light and fluffy.
- Add peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until well blended. Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until the candy is a workable texture; not too sticky and easy to handle. You might need to add a little more powdered sugar to get a more workable consistency.
- Using a large spoon, scoop the candy onto the spoon and press into the spoon. It should shape like an egg. Peel off of spoon. Put it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and continue until mix is gone. About 3 dozen.
- Put the eggs in the fridge to firm up, about an hour. (I let mine sit over night, so they were really firm.) Once firm, melt chocolate and coat the eggs. Sprinkle with colored sprinkles if you want.
- Return to the fridge and allow to firm. Store in fridge up to 2 weeks in a air tight container. When ready to eat, allow to come to room temperature first for best taste.
I made a few changes but the original recipe for Marshmallow Peanut Butter Eggs can be found here!
Do you even know how much I love peanut butter eggs? Dawn @ Spatulas on Parade was assigned my blog last month. SRS is so fun.
Marshmallow Fluff– make marshmallow buttercream and put it on everything. Or use it as the filling for oatmeal cream pies. Or put it on a peanut butter sandwich. Yeah!!
Heather, if you didn’t like peanut butter eggs we probably wouldn’t be friends.
I’m heading over to your page to check out your SRS review!
Oh My, I saw this recipe on Google+ and was excited to read that you are a member of SRS. I am too. I love this group and have fun seeing what everyone comes up with!

I’m a sucker for marshmallow fluff. I always have a jar in my pantry. These eggs are so perfect for Easter and I love how easy they are to make!! Who needs to buy Easter candy when you can make these?
EXACTLY!! Thanks Elaine!
I if had MM fluff in my house, I would be making these this second – I sense a store run coming on!
I’ve learned MM Fluff should be a pantry must have
I always look for the desserts first, too!
These are so cute. I love the plate, too =)

I can almost imagine the taste! Really great treat! Maybe I wouldn’t shape them as eggs, would be really great for anytime I want something sweet
Sure! You can shape them into anything you want. It’s a very versatile treat!
Just seen these on Pinterest they look great, looking for some fun easter treats to make with the kids and I think they’ll just love these!
Kids and adults will love them!! Thanks for coming by, Jen!
I made my husband stop at the store on his way home from work so I could make these!
You’ve got an awesome husband!!
Yummy. I like the fact that the ratio of peanut butter to chocolate is much greater then a store bought one. The peanut butter is my favorite part.
I totally agree!! Peanut Butter is the best part!

You’re welcome, Sue! Thanks for stopping by. SITS Sharefest is an awesome link party!
Yum yum yum!!! Peanut butter eggs are my favorite treat at Easter. I usually make them every year for my kiddos!!!
My favorite, too!! This was the first time I made them and I’ll probably make them year round
These peanut butter eggs look so adorable and tasty! Peanut butter is my favorite; I should make this for Easter! Thanks for the recipe! (:
Thanks, Monica! I hope you make these eggs for Easter!!
I can’t get over the fact that the marshmallow peanut butter eggs look so cute! The star shaped sprinkles are making things even better. I think I am going to try lots of different kind of sprinkles. Your Recipe Swap posts sounds fun by the way.
Sprinkles makes everything better! You should sign up for the swap! It’s fun! We get our new assigned blog for the month on the 1st, so you still have time!
Made these yesterday as a Easter gifts. Yummy.
That’s great, Vicki!!
Peanut butter and chocolate are a huge hit around this house. I can’t wait to make these! I wish I could just reach into my computer and grab one {or three!}
LOL! I love it!!
It looks so yummy, my stomach was rumbling at first sight. I feel like Winnie the Pooh looking at a jar of honey.
LOL! That’s a great analogy!!!
