In a stand mixer, add in all the ingredients starting with the peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and gently mix with a paddle attachement.
Once the mixture holds together, stop the mixer and scoop out 24 equally sized peanut butter dough balls using a tablespoon and place them on a parchement lined baking sheet.
Using your fingers, shape each ball into an egg shape then palce it back on the parchement lined baking sheet, then freeze the eggs on the baking sheet until hard, about 30-60 minutes.
Once the peanut butter eggs are hard, melt the chocolate chips and the oil in a bowl or a measuring cup in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between.
Working wiht one egg at a time, dunk it in the emeltedchocolate mixture with a fork. Once the peanut butter eggs is fully coated in melted chocolate lift the fork and gently shake or tap the side of the cup or bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
Place the chocolate covered egg back on the baking sheet and repeat this process until all the peanut butter eggs are coated. Place back in the freezer to solidify and either enjoy right away or drizzle with the leftover melted chocolate to have a beautiful design on your chocoalte eggs. If you decide to drizzle the eggs with extra chocolate, place them back in the freezer after decorating until the chocolate hardens, about 5 minutes.
