Easy chocolate peanut butter eggs with just 4-ingredients! Perfect for an Easter treat or anytime healthy candy substitute.
Happy Friday!
How was your week?
I feel like it’s that time of the year when all of us humans start to slowly come out of hibernation.
So, my calendar this weekend is full– want to hear?
We’ve got a baseball game this evening, followed by bookclub brunch tomorrow, and a hair highlight on Sunday.
That might not seem like a lot to you, but to an introvert, well, that’s a whole lot of socialization.
My one rule is to never plan TWO events in one day, because in my experience that never ends well for my energy levels.
My other rule is always tackle the weekend with a clean treat, preferably a plant-based peanut butter and chocolate coated candy.
You ready?
The Best Vegan Easter Eggs
OK, so, what’s your favorite Easter candy?
Peeps and jelly beans were never really my thing.
Hands down my favorite spring-inspired candy is Reese’s chocolate peanut butter eggs.
I mean, sweet pillowy peanut butter ovals enrobed in chocolate?
SWOON.
Something about that egg-shape created the perfect ratio of peanut butter and chocolate with every bite.
These Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Eggs are the quickest way to get your plant-based and egg-shaped chocolate peanut butter fix this Easter!
What You Need to Make Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Eggs
The recipe begins with super simple peanut butter egg rounds that are easy to make by hand with just three ingredients–
- peanut butter,
- maple syrup,
- and coconut flour.
That’s it!
For the peanut butter, be sure to use one that is just peanuts and sea salt or just peanuts!
You want the dough to be thick and moldable, so feel free to add a little extra coconut flour to thicken things up if you find it’s too runny to work with.
The Chocolate Coating
The final 1-ingredient is a simple melted chocolate coating.
To achieve this I used my chocolate coating I used my favorite Cashew Butter & Raspberry Jelly Dark Chocolate bar.
This clean chocolate is totally vegan, refined-sugar-free, and oil-free, making it an instant favorite of mine for eating and recipe creation.
The Cashew Butter & Raspberry Jelly Dark Chocolate flavor is perfect here to give a slight jammy flavor and cashew creaminess to the chocolate shell.
Any of the Hu Kitchen chocolate flavors will work here, so choose your favorite and get melty.
The trick to making these eggs is to freeze between every step.
This ensures you have a solid egg to work with between dunks of warm chocolate.
My ideal peanut butter egg is has a heavy peanut butter to chocolate ratio, but if you prefer a thicker chocolate coating, try double dipping the eggs for a more intense flavor.
To do this, freeze the first chocolate coating until solid, then re-dip for a second round of dark chocolate deliciousness.
I like to instead drizzle mine with excess chocolate for a fun aesthetic.

Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Eggs
- Total Time: 10 mins
- Yield: 12 eggs
- Diet: Vegan
Description
Easy chocolate peanut butter eggs with just 4-ingredients! Perfect for an Easter treat or anytime healthy candy substitute.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy salted peanut butter* (just peanuts + salt)
- 3 TBSP pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 bars Hu Kitchen Cashew Butter & Raspberry Jelly Dark Chocolate
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add the peanut butter to a medium mixing bowl along with the maple syrup and coconut flour and stir everything to combine. The result should be a dense dough that you can easily roll into balls. If it’s too runny, add a tablespoon more coconut flour.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop out rounded ~1.5″ Tablespoon balls of dough and gently form them into a disc/egg shape. Place the balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet and continue until you have about a dozen uniform eggs.
- Transfer the pan to the freezer to chill while preparing the chocolate.
- Add the chopped chocolate to a small saucepan over medium heat and warm everything until the chocolate is completely melted. Transfer the chocolate to the bowl.
- When the eggs are solid and cold to the touch, remove them from the freezer and begin dipping them in the chocolate. Use a spoon or fork to dip the eggs in the melted chocolate, ensuring all sides are coated. Tap the excess chocolate off to avoid run off. Place the chocolate coated eggs back on the parchment-lined dish or baking sheet and repeat until all eggs are dipped. Place the eggs back in the freezer to set.
- When the chocolate shell is firm to the touch, remove the eggs from freezer and drizzle them with additional chocolate, if desired. Place them back in the freezer to set once more.
- Enjoy immediately! Store any leftover eggs in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer up to one month.

These look so good! I really want to get my hands on some Hu chocolate…one day!
Hi Victoria,

Can’t wait to try, just afraid I will eat them all in one sitting!!
Jill,
Hehe, a totally valid fear but at least the ingredients are clean! 🙂 Have a great weekend!

These. Are. Amazing. I made them with the Hu Gems and shaped them like Reese’s PB cups (almost Halloween) and everyone told me they can’t believe I made them! They thought I bought them somewhere. Super easy to make and incredibly delicious. Make them now!! ♥️
Hi Deanna! I’m so glad you tried these!!! Love the idea of making them into cups! 🙂 Everyone should make them!!!
XOXO Lauren
So so good! And so easy! I made some into circles too! Thinking I might just need to keep a bag of these in my freezer at all times.
I just used plain dark chocolate and added a pinch of salt since the natural pb I buy isn’t salted. Delish! Thank you!!
