Peanut Butter Eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make no-bake treat featuring a creamy peanut butter filling coated in rich, melted chocolate. Perfect for springtime celebrations or anytime you crave a sweet, protein-packed snack.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 peanut butter eggs

Ingredients

For the Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup blanched almond flour
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt

For the Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, blanched almond flour, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a smooth, cohesive dough.
  2. Shape the Eggs: Using your hands, shape the peanut butter mixture into small egg-shaped ovals, roughly 1 to 1.5 inches long. Place the shaped eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then freeze them for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips together with the coconut oil, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Coat the Peanut Butter Eggs: Remove the peanut butter eggs from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Gently tap off excess chocolate and place the coated eggs back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated peanut butter eggs for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens and sets completely.
  6. Serve and Store: Once set, enjoy immediately or store the peanut butter eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Use a creamy peanut butter for best texture; crunchy peanut butter can result in a grainy filling.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey, depending on your preference.
  • If you don’t have almond flour, you can use finely ground oats or other nut flours as an alternative.
  • For a dairy-free version, ensure your chocolate chips are vegan or dairy-free.
  • These treats should be kept refrigerated to maintain firmness, especially in warm environments.
