You can make deep-fried peanut butter eggs, and naturally, we had to give it a go!
For my family, the arrival of peanut butter eggs signals the start of a special season that lasts until Easter. While some may find it annoying that these treats hit the shelves right after Christmas, I find comfort in them during hectic moments. Just last weekend, while shopping for dessert, my partner quickly returned from the aisles with a pack of these delicious candies. He prefers them chilled from the fridge, but I enjoy indulging in them while taking a shower—where the steam makes them even more delightful.
My kids have been vying for the giant peanut butter eggs in their communal Easter basket since they were toddlers. I’ve even been known to use them as a topping on chocolate cakes, regardless of how they may look. But did you know you can deep fry these sugary delights?
I’ve tried deep-frying various treats like Oreos and pickles, but the thought of submerging candy in oil never crossed my mind until I stumbled upon a recipe. I knew I had to try this at least once. So, I bought two packs of the peanut butter eggs and tucked them away in the pantry—only to have my son discover them almost instantly. I could have played referee, but let’s face it: when you have teenagers, it’s often best to let them have their fun. I simply called out for them to save me one for frying.
How to Make Deep Fried Peanut Butter Eggs
Now, let’s talk about how to make these and how delicious they are. First, freeze the peanut butter eggs before frying to ensure they hold their shape. I recommend stocking up on these treats immediately after they hit your shopping cart.
The batter is simple: combine an egg, milk, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, similar to pancake batter. The preparation can get a bit messy; you’ll want to dunk the frozen egg fully in the batter before deep-frying. Be cautious not to leave it in the oil for too long, or you might end up with a melted mess.
Sprinkling powdered sugar on top may seem excessive, but since the batter is sugar-free, it balances out nicely. The end result is reminiscent of a pancake filled with chocolate and peanut butter—delicious, but I’d argue it’s easier to just order pancakes at a restaurant and slip in the peanut butter eggs for a similar gooey treat.
If you enjoy fair food and deep-fried confections, this is a fun family recipe to try. My family rated it a six out of ten, as we all still prefer the classic candy in its original form. However, if you plan to deep fry some, make sure to hide a stash for yourself. You might also want to grab an extra bag to enjoy plain—just for comparison!
