Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or vegetable shortening)
- 1 cup Green candy melts
- 24 pieces Candy eyes
- 2 tablespoons Green sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Using your hands, scoop out approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into frog-like bodies (a round base with a slight bump for the 'head'). Place the shaped frogs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the frogs in the freezer for at least 20 minutes or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
Dip each peanut butter frog into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap off excess chocolate and place back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, melt the green candy melts in a separate bowl using the same microwave technique. Drizzle the green candy melts over the frogs to create 'frog-like patterns.'
Immediately place two candy eyes on each frog’s head. Add green sprinkles, if desired, for an extra decorative touch.
Place the finished frogs in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your Chocolate Peanut Butter Frogs!
