Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, light brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Blend until smooth, then gradually add flour, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Fold in the Add-Ins: Gently fold in chocolate chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  4. Shape the Easter Eggs: Scoop out portions of dough and roll them into egg shapes. Place on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill the Eggs: Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until firm.
  6. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt semisweet chocolate until smooth.
  7. Coat the Eggs: Dip each egg into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
  8. Add Drizzle and Sprinkles: Melt white chocolate and drizzle over eggs. Add sprinkles while chocolate is still wet.
  9. Final Chill: Allow the eggs to rest until chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.
