Peanut Butter Balls for Easter

When you don’t have kids, Easter really isn’t that big of a deal. Well, excluding the religious aspect of the day, I’m talking about Easter activities, egg hunts and gifts. Before Daphne, my favorite part of Easter were the Reese’s Eggs. You know the ones I’m talking about… the thicker peanut butter cups in a flat egg shape. Yum. Reese’s should sell these year-round. But since they don’t, why not make your own?

Since we always have graham crackers and peanut butter around (thanks to Publix BOGOs) I decided to try Cast Sugar’s Peanut Butter Balls recipe. These could easily be made into an egg shape and are very similar in taste to Reese’s. Some tips- I was too lazy to pull out my food processor to crush the graham crackers and I didn’t get them crushed finely enough so mine were a bit crunchy. Not bad, just not the same texture as a Reese’s. Also, line a cookie sheet with wax paper for the dipped balls then pop the whole thing into the freezer for a few minutes. The balls will be set and ready to store.
