Serves

8 egg candies

Total Time

30 minutes

Ingredients

1⁄2 cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Peanut Butter (or sub Almond Butter)

4 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Almond Flour

3 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Whey Protein Concentrate

2 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup

1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract

2⁄3 cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Fair Trade Semisweet Chocolate Chips

1⁄2 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Optional for topping

Flaky salt

Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Peanut Splits, chopped

Directions

Mix the peanut butter, almond flour, whey powder, maple syrup, and vanilla in a medium bowl to form a dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment. Divide the dough into eight small segments. Roll each segment into a ball, flatten slightly and round the edges to form an egg shape, then place onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator for 5 minutes while you make the chocolate dip.
Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave for 30 more seconds and stir again to melt. If necessary, continue microwaving in 10 seconds bursts until melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chips and oil in a double boiler.
Using a fork, dip each egg into the melted chocolate to completely coat and place back on the parchment. If adding any optional toppings, sprinkle them on now, while the chocolate is still soft, pressing slightly to help them adhere. When all the eggs are coated, place them back in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Once the chocolate has set, candies can be served cold or at room temperature.
