  • Prep Time 55 minutes
  • Cook Time 2 minutes
  • Yield 16 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) salted smooth peanut butter
  • ¼ cup (2 ½ oz/71 g) maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoons almond flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (12 oz/340 g) chopped milk chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • Sprinkles and Candy Melts

Instructions

  1. Line two small trays with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, almond flour, and salt until fully mixed.
  3. Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes to thicken.
  4. Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions, shape into egg forms, and flatten slightly.
  5. Place the eggs on one tray and freeze for 1 hour until firm.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix chopped milk chocolate and vegetable oil.
  7. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth, or melt over a double boiler.
  8. Working in small batches, dip each frozen peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift them out.
  9. Gently tap the fork against the bowl to remove excess chocolate and place the eggs on the second prepared tray.
  10. Repeat the process for all the eggs and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until the chocolate sets.
  11. Melt Candy Melts according to package directions and fill piping bags with small round tips for decorating.
  12. Pipe decorations on each egg and add sprinkles while the melts are still wet.
  13. Refrigerate until decorations are set, about 30 minutes.
  14. Serve chilled with milk and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, separated with parchment paper if stacked.

Notes

For a smoother chocolate coating, ensure your chocolate is completely melted and at the right temperature when dipping.
You can substitute the milk chocolate with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
These treats can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
