Chocolate ‘Reeses’ Easter Eggs- Nut Free!

Chocolate ‘Reeses’ Easter Eggs- Nut Free!

Recipe

Yields 7 eggs | Prep time 10 minutes | Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes |

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life dairy free vegan chocolate chips)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

1. Mix sunflower seed butter, maple syrup, and coconut flour.
2. Place a sheet of parchment paper over a flat surface like a cutting board.
3. Roll dough into balls then form into egg shapes.
4. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
5. Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler (use a pot with boiling water then place a bowl overtop so the steam from the water melts the chocolate without burning it).
6. Remove eggs from the freezer. Coat each egg with chocolate and place back on the parchment paper. sprinkle some sprinkles if you like (I used Lets Do Organic kind).
7. Put chocolate eggs in the freezer until completely hardened (at least an hour). I pulled them out too early and they weren’t fully frozen and some broke as I tried to pull them off.

Enjoy!

Store in fridge or freezer until ready to be eaten as the chocolate will become soft at room temperature.
