How to Make Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and smooth.
- Portion the peanut butter filling into 2-tablespoon portions. Roll each portion into a ball and delicately shape it into an oval, resembling an egg.
- Place the formed eggs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze while preparing the coating.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and water and set aside.
- Add the white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well each time, until melted and smooth.
- Coat the semi-frozen eggs in the white chocolate.
- To create decorative speckles, dip a pastry brush in the cocoa powder/water mixture and flick it over the eggs.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 10 minutes.
Notes
For added flavor, drizzle melted chocolate over the eggs before serving.
