Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
1-1/2 to 2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 cups (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp shortening

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream the butter and peanut butter until fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup confectioners' sugar and mix well. Stir in coconut and nuts.
Turn peanut butter mixture onto a surface lightly dusted with some of the remaining confectioners' sugar; knead in enough of the remaining confectioners' sugar until mixture holds its shape when formed. Shape into small egg-shaped pieces. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip eggs; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Chill. Yield: 2 dozen.
