Instructions
Combine white confectionery coating wafers and peanut butter chips in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on high power for 15-30 second increments, stirring after each until melted.
Stir in peanut butter and salt.
Allow it to cool enough so that it no longer feels warm to the touch.
Paint a thin shell of melted chocolate into plastic egg molds.
Refrigerate until hardened.
Pour peanut butter fudge into chocolate shells.
Refrigerate until firm. Then allow to warm up to room temperature.
Top with a thin layer of chocolate.
Refrigerate until firm then un-mold.
Pipe chocolate ears and paws onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Add pink hearts and confetti sprinkles to paws.
Refrigerate until hard.
Remove and brush pink luster dust over ears.
Spoon some chocolate onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and set one egg on top, then sprinkle on green sprinkles and hold egg in place until it sticks.
Decorate each egg by adding 2 candy eyes, a pink candy nose, 2 candy ears, and 2 paws using melted chocolate.
Draw on smile and whiskers using black food coloring marker.
