Ingredients

1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups crisp rice cereal
2 cups corn flakes
1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts
3 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 teaspoon shortening
Candy sprinkles

Steps:

In a heavy saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth. Remove from the heat: stir in the cereal and peanuts.
When cool enough to handle, drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Form into eggs shapes. Refrigerate until firm.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip eggs in chocolate, allow excess to drip off. Place onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until set.
