1 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Melt peanut butter and butter for 1 minute in a microwaveable bowl in the microwave. Stir until blended.
Add vanilla and powdered sugar, mix well.
Divide mixture into 10 portions and form each into an egg shape. Place eggs on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in freezer for 15 minutes.
