In a mixing bowl cream peanut butter and butter until well mixed. Fold in coconut, nuts and one cup sugar; mix well. Sprinkle some of the remaining sugar on a board. Turn peanut butter mixture onto board, knead in enough of the remaining sugar until mixture holds its shape when formed. Shape into small egg-shaped pieces. Cover and chill 1 hour.
