Ingredients
  

For the Peanut Butter Filling
  • 1 cup peanut butter, creamy Natural peanut butter works but may make the centers softer.
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour Use more if needed to firm the mix.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Can substitute with honey, but it may alter flavor and texture.
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, dark or semi-sweet Dark chocolate is preferred for less sugar.
  • 1/2 Tablespoon coconut oil Helps to smooth the chocolate for dipping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut flour, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth.
  2. Form the peanut butter mixture into egg shapes by rolling 1-inch balls and flattening them into ovals with your fingers.
  3. Place the ovals on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
  4. Next, heat the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave, heating 30 seconds at a time and stirring until completely melted.
  5. Using two forks, coat the peanut butter eggs in the melted chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drip off.
  6. Transfer each egg to parchment paper to harden.
  7. Optional: After the chocolate has hardened for a few minutes, drizzle with more melted chocolate for decoration.
Serving
  1. Serve these eggs chilled or at cool room temperature.
  2. For serving at a party, arrange with other small bites and finger foods.

Notes

Keep the eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To freeze, arrange in a single layer on a tray and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and they will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before eating.
