  • Author: Chef Barbara
  • Total Time: 55 minute

Ingredients

– 1 cup natural peanut butter
– 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
– ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate, depending on preference)
– 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)


Instructions

Creating Easy, Healthy Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Mix Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well blended and smooth.
2. Shape the Eggs: Using your hands, form small egg-shaped pieces from the peanut butter mixture. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Chill: Place the shaped peanut butter eggs in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
5. Coat Eggs: Using a fork, dip each chilled peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Chill Again: Return the coated peanut butter eggs to the refrigerator for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
7. Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your Easy, Healthy Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs are ready to be enjoyed!
