Creamy and smooth, these homemade Easter candies are delicious! I'm not sure which I liked more, the coconut or peanut butter... I kept tasting both trying to decide. They'd be a cute addition to any Easter basket. Or, place a few in a cellophane bag and you have a lovely place card for your Easter meal.

Steps:
- 1. Mix together butter, cream cheese, and vanilla well.
- 2. Add the box of powdered sugar mix well. Split in half.
- 3. In one half, add the bag of coconut and beat well. In the other half, add the peanut butter beat until combined well.
- 4. Shape into easter eggs and freeze for half an hour on wax paper on cookie sheet.
- 5. Melt your semi-sweet morsels in the microwave in 30-second intervals with the butter or Crisco till hot; about 2 minutes.
- 6. Take out a small batch and dip into chocolate. I shake them to get off excess chocolate and place them back onto wax paper. I put colored nonpareils on the coconut, so we can tell them apart. Put in fridge for about 30 minutes then put into airtight containers. Separate the layers with wax paper. ENJOY, they are sooo good.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality dark chocolate that contains at least 70% cacao solids.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, or it will seize and become unusable.
- To easily remove the eggs from the molds, place them in the freezer for a few minutes before unmolding.
- If you don't have any molds, you can also use plastic Easter eggs as molds.
- To make the eggs more festive, you can decorate them with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or candy.
- The eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
These Double Coconut and Peanut Butter Easter Eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for Easter or any other special occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and creamy coconut and peanut butter filling, these eggs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
