Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Peanut Butter Eggs coated in rich dark chocolate, perfect for a healthy treat or seasonal snack. These no-bake treats combine creamy peanut butter, coconut flour, and maple syrup, dipped in melted dark chocolate and chilled to set. Ready in just 20 minutes, they offer a satisfying blend of sweet and nutty flavors.


Ingredients

Chocolate Coating

  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Peanut Butter Filling

  • ½ cup all-natural creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup


Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line a pan with parchment paper to prevent the peanut butter eggs from sticking after dipping and freezing.
  2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments until fully melted and smooth, stirring between intervals to avoid burning.
  3. Make Peanut Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, coconut flour, and maple syrup. Stir until a thick, moldable dough forms that will hold shape when formed.
  4. Shape Eggs: Use your hands to shape the peanut butter mixture into egg-shaped pieces approximately 2 inches long, 1 inch wide, and ½ inch thick, ensuring uniform size for even chocolate coating.
  5. Dip in Chocolate: Using a fork, carefully lower each peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Let excess chocolate drip off, then set the coated egg onto the prepared parchment-lined pan.
  6. Freeze to Set: After all eggs are coated, place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes or until the chocolate coating hardens completely.
  7. Optional Garnish: Once set, remove from freezer. If desired, drizzle leftover melted chocolate on top for an elegant finish before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use all-natural peanut butter for best flavor and texture.
  • Ensure coconut flour is well mixed into the peanut butter to avoid lumps.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred.
  • Store the peanut butter eggs in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate coating firm.
  • For a dairy-free option, make sure to use dairy-free chocolate chips.
