Peanut Butter Eggs For Easter

I filled lots of eggs for the grandkids today. I love Easter and we will all be ready to go to church first in the morning to celebrate the real reason we celebrate this holiday. I remember once we went out to a big farm around this time. The kids got to gather so many eggs and then a plane flew over and dropped more eggs and the Easter Bunny was in the plane. There were games and lots of hamburgers and hot dogs to enjoy. It was a memorable occasion!Chocolate and peanut butter is match made in heaven. Make your own Reese's peanut butter eggs and surprise your family when you add one to their Easter Baskets. These treats are so easy to make and taste even better than the store-bought ones!
