Vegan Healthy-ish Peanut Butter Eggs
An Easter tradition in our family has always been to eat chocolate covered peanut butter eggs. Who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter?? I can’t think of a better combo than sweet chocolate and salty peanut butter. YUM! After about 6 years of Easters without enjoying this tradition due to making the lifestyle change to veganism, I have FINALLY decided to make a vegan version!
After putting these together I am kicking myself for not making them sooner. They are so quick and easy to make, not to mention delicious! I am slightly ashamed to admit that I have already eaten about half of them in less than 48 hours. Don’t judge me, we are under quarantine rules and moderation went out the window weeks ago.
Anyway! I decided to throw a quick blog together to show you how to make these yourself. If you aren’t vegan you can use normal chocolate chips. (That is the only vegan swap I made.)

The first step is to add all the ingredients except for the chocolate chips
I used maple syrup
The salt
For the peanut butter
Once the mixture is well combined mold it into egg shapes and place on parchment paper
This recipe will make about 12 small eggs. Once all the eggs are formed place them in the fridge for to chill.
While you are chilling the eggs combine your chocolate chips and coconut oil to melt. I used a stainless steel mixing bowl
Use a fork to dip the eggs into the melted chocolate and flip until well covered. The chocolate will soften the eggs so you will want to move quickly. You might have to put the eggs back in the fridge if they soften too much.
Once all the eggs are dipped pop them into the fridge to harden the chocolate coating. I used the extra melted chocolate to dip strawberries.
Enjoy!
