Ingredients

1 1/4 cup natural, runny peanut butter (no sugar added)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
8 ounces white chocolate melting wafers (we use Ghirardelli brand)
2 teaspoons coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon blue spirulina + 1/4 teaspoon matcha powder (or use a 2:1 ratio of any blue and green food dye)
For the speckles: 1 teaspoon cocoa powder + 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Step 2: Portion the peanut butter filling into 2-tablespoon portions. Roll each into a ball using your hands, then shape each ball into an oval (egg-shaped).
Step 3: Place the shaped eggs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze while you prepare the coating.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and water and set aside for later use.
Step 5: Add the white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well between each, until fully melted. Whisk in the spirulina and matcha powders (or your chosen food coloring) and adjust colors as desired. Pour into a short glass or similar container for easy dipping.
Step 6: Working with the semi-frozen peanut butter eggs, stick a toothpick in the bottom of each egg, then dip it into the white chocolate coating. Let excess chocolate drip off. Wait until the coating is mostly hardened, then place the egg back on the parchment paper and immediately remove the toothpick to prevent cracking.
Step 7: To create speckles, dip a pastry brush into the cocoa powder and water mixture. Holding it about 8 inches above the baking sheet, flick the brush tip over the eggs to create speckles. Be cautious as this can get messy. Refrigerate the eggs until the chocolate dries, about 10 minutes.

Tips & Variations

Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for a cleaner taste and better texture.
Substitute almond flour with finely ground oats if you prefer a nut-free option.
For a colorful twist, experiment with different natural food dyes or cocoa powder combinations for speckles.
Keep the peanut butter eggs semi-frozen during coating to avoid melting and to get a smooth chocolate layer.

Storage

Store the finished Peanut Butter Easter Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze them, placing parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving. These eggs are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of natural peanut butter?

Yes, but regular peanut butter often contains added sugars and oils which can affect the texture and sweetness. Natural peanut butter helps keep the filling firmer and less sweet.

What if I don’t have white chocolate melting wafers?

You can use good quality white chocolate bars chopped into pieces and melted gently. Be careful not to overheat to prevent burning. Adding coconut oil helps with smooth melting.
