In a large bowl mix the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Then add the sugar and stir it well until it is incorporated with the peanut butter mixture.
Use your hands to roll the peanut butter into egg-like oval shapes that are 1/4 inch thick.
Chill the peanut butter eggs on a plate in the fridge for about 1 hour.
Using a double boiler melt the chocolate, if the chocolate is to thick you can add a little bit of shorting to help thin it out.
Remove the peanut butter eggs from the fridge.
Using a fork dip each one into the melted chocolate until they are completely coated. Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove the extra chocolate.
Place them on a cooling rack to cool and harden before eating.
