What You’ll Need

Makes 12–15 eggs

Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no added sugar)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond flour (or coconut flour for a firmer texture)
  • 2–3 tbsp powdered sugar substitute (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (like Lily’s or ChocZero)
  • 1–2 tsp coconut oil (for a smooth, glossy finish)

Optional Toppings:

  • Crushed peanuts
  • Sugar-free sprinkles
  • Flaky sea salt

How to Make Them

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. In a bowl, mix peanut butter, almond flour, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  2. Roll into small egg shapes (about 1–2 tbsp each) and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  3. Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

Step 3: Dip & Coat

  1. Remove peanut butter eggs from the freezer.
  2. Dip each egg into the melted chocolate using a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  3. Place back on the tray and sprinkle with toppings if desired.

Step 4: Let Them Set

  1. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
