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
- Prepare Pan: Line a pan with parchment paper to prevent the peanut butter eggs from sticking after dipping and freezing.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Freeze to Set: After all eggs are coated, place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes or until the chocolate coating hardens completely.
- 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.
