Peanut Butter Easter Eggs

I found this recipe in a little recipe book from Taste of Home magazine.
These are really good!

1/2 cup butter
2 1/3 cups confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or some other finely crushed slightly sweet biscuit if you don't have the graham crackers where you live)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dark (or semi-sweet) chocolate chips
2 tbsp shortening
Sprinkles for decorating.

In a large bowl, cream butter; gradually add the confectioner's sugar, cracker crumbs, peanut butter and vanilla. Shape into 16 eggs (I made 30 smaller ones) place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.

In a microwave, melt the chocolate chips and shortening, stir until smooth. Dip the eggs in chocolate, allow excess to drip off. Decorate with sprinkles; return the eggs to waxed paper. Chill until set. Store in an airtight in the refrigerator.
