Ingredients

1 1/2 cup peanut butter powder (Such as PB Fit)
2/3 cup applesauce (unsweetened, organic)
100 g dark chocolate chips (melted. Such as Lily's or Hu)

Instructions

1
Mix the Peanut Butter Powder and Applesauce: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter powder and unsweetened applesauce. Stir until a dough forms. At first, the mixture may seem dry, but don’t worry—it will come together! For best results, use your hands to knead the dough until smooth and well-mixed.
2
Shape the Peanut Butter Eggs: Divide the dough into 18 portions and roll them into egg shapes. Place the shaped peanut butter eggs onto a parchment-lined tray.
3
Chill the Peanut Butter Eggs: Refrigerate or freeze the peanut butter eggs for at least 20 minutes, or until they firm up enough to be coated in chocolate.
4
Melt the Dark Chocolate: While the eggs are chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
5
Coat the Eggs in Chocolate: Once the peanut butter eggs are firm, dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. If you enjoy a salty-sweet combo, sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets.
6
Let the Chocolate Set: Allow the chocolate coating to harden at room temperature or place the eggs back in the fridge for quicker results.
7
Store and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your healthy peanut butter Easter eggs are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in the fridge to keep them fresh and firm.
