Wholesome Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs
Simple ingredients, sweet memories, and a better-for-you twist on a classic treat.
There’s something magical about making homemade versions of our favorite childhood treats—especially when they taste even better than the store-bought versions and are made with ingredients you actually recognize. These homemade chocolate peanut butter eggs are just that. They’re soft, rich, and perfectly sweet without the refined sugars or mystery ingredients found in commercial candies.
What I love most about this recipe (besides how delicious they are) is that it brings us back to the kitchen—the heart of the home—where little hands can help, memories are made, and sweet moments are shared.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
• Wholesome Ingredients: Only 5 simple pantry staples—no preservatives, artificial flavors, or refined sugars.
• Kid-Friendly Fun: This is the perfect kitchen project to enjoy with your children. Let them shape the eggs, dip the chocolate, and sneak a few licks of the spoon!
• Better Than Store-Bought: The flavor is rich, nutty, and satisfying—and you’ll feel good knowing exactly what’s inside.
Ingredients:
1 c Natural peanut butter (look for one with just peanuts + salt)
1/4 c Maple syrup or honey (local always best)
1/3 c Coconut flour or almond flour (for binding)
1 c Dark chocolate chips or a chocolate bar (at least 70% cacao for less sugar)
1/2 T Coconut oil (to help melt and smooth the chocolate)
How to Make:
1. Mix the filling: In a bowl, stir together peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut flour until you get a soft, rollable dough.
2. Shape into eggs: Roll the dough into small egg shapes and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
3. Melt the chocolate: In a saucepan or double boiler, gently melt the chocolate chips with a little coconut oil.
4. Dip: Once the peanut butter eggs are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate and place them back on the tray.
5. Chill: Let them set in the fridge until the chocolate is firm.
