Happy Easter everyone!!
You can make our delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs to serve as dessert, or as a quick treat to enjoy over the long weekend. Although they scream Easter, we aren’t above making these all year round, they’re so good!
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs are easy to make and require very few ingredients. They come together so quickly and easily you can’t really go wrong. These treats taste kind of like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, but better because they are vegan!
The recipe doesn’t call for it, but feel free to add a teeny tiny sprinkle of sea salt just before the chocolate sets for a slight twist. We’ve tried it and, it’s pretty darn tasty.
You can even get real creative and pipe some decorations onto the eggs using melted chocolate. It’s not necessary but it would make for a cute dessert plate. It’s Easter so we say get creative and eat lots of chocolate!
Oh and by the way… they pair real nice with a glass of red wine! Just saying!
If you want more peanut butter, chocolate-y goodness, make a batch of our Peanut Butter Brownies!
