Homemade Chocolate Easter Eggs (But Much Healthier for you!)

I made these to resemble Easter eggs. They are much healthier though for you and will actually help fill you up and help satisfy your sweet tooth/chocolate craving too. :) I think of these as a healthier version to jelly beans. :) And it’s really simple too…

 

 

You need….

1. 1x recipe for just the chocolate part of my homemade reese’s (below)

• 1/2 c. cocoa powder
• 1/4 c. melted butter (the real thing! or earth balance, or coconut oil as suggested in the original recipe)
• 1 t. vanilla
• 1/8 – 1/4 c. honey/agave

   2. 2 c. almonds (or you could use peanuts, other nuts, or seeds)

Make the chocolate by combining all the ingredients) . Stir in the almonds until all are evenly coated. Use fork to dish out almonds and separate them. Place them on cookie sheet covered in parchment paper or wax paper. Store in the freezer or fridge until ready to serve. :)

Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter (“Reese’s”) Easter Eggs

 

Happy Easter Everyone! I wanted to post this earlier, but with finals and such fast approaching, I haven’t had a spare moment until now. 

I love peanut butter and chocolate. I used to love Reese’s before I changed my diet. Now, they don’t really even taste good to me. (And since they’re not good for me, I’m glad!) Probably my favorite Easter candy growing up was “Reese’s Eggs”.  I decided to try and make my own this year. 

I made these chocolate peanut butter Easter Eggs based of my homemade “Reese’s” cups but with a few changes.

Treat your family or yourself with these instead of Reese’s. They are much, much better for you and actually taste better too! :) Include them in your last minute Easter baskets too! :)

 

Homemade “Reese’s Eggs”

• 1/4 c. c. melted butter (or earth balance, or coconut oil )
• 4 T. cocoa powder

Mix melted butter or oil with peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Stir in cocoa powder. Spoon onto parchment/wax paper and place in the fridge/freeze until set. Serve.

 

(Keep them in the fridge/freezer) until ready to serve if made with butter especially!

 

Enjoy! :)
