Instructions

Place the Graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and salt in a large bowl and stir together to combine (mixture will be very crumbly but should hold its shape when you squeeze it in your hand).
Working with about 2.5 to 3 tablespoons at a time, shape the mixture into a flattened egg with your hands.
Place the eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge or freezer until firm (approx. 1 to 2 hours).
Melt the chocolate and stir in the oil to thin it out.
Dip the eggs in melted chocolate, turning to coat.
Remove the eggs from the chocolate with the tines of a fork, tapping off any excess and placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the chocolate coating to set and harden, preferably at room temperature (approx. 1 to 2 hours).
