Easy SunButter Chocolate Easter Eggs with just 5-ingredients! Perfect for an Easter treat or anytime healthy candy substitute.

A few years ago, at a get together at my cousin’s house, my sister made a point of getting M to try some marshmallow peeps.

Growing up in Germany, M had no idea what to expect from Classic Peeps.

(I’ll note that this moment was made arguably even better by the fact that my sister had purchased neon pink peeps instead of the classic yellow.)

So M, ever adventurous, bit into the marshmallow fluff covered in pink sugar, chewed a few times, and said, “This is pretty gross!”

We all burst into laughter, our suspicions confirmed.

M isn’t a sugar lover, and peeps are nothing but pure sugar!

Although peeps were always a part of my Easter basket, they were never my thing, either.

They were too sweet, too airy, too artificial tasting.

Not that the rest of the Easter candy I was consuming was by any means healthful, but at least they had normal coloring.

Which is why I stand by the fact that Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs are by far the superior Easter dessert.

They always had what I’ve heard described as “the perfect ratio of chocolate to peanut butter”, even more so than chocolate peanut butter cups!

That is, until today, because I made you some SunButter Chocolate Easter Eggs that are the real winner.

These easy SunButter Chocolate Easter Eggs are made with just 4-ingredients!

They’re perfect for an Easter treat or anytime healthy candy substitute.

What You Need to Make SunButter Chocolate Easter Eggs

These SunButter Chocolate Easter Eggs are easy to make at home!

Here’s what you need:

superfine almond flour
No Sugar Added SunButter
pure maple syrup
vegan dark chocolate chips
coconut oil

That’s it!

How to Make SunButter Easter Eggs

Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment paper and set aside.

To a small mixing bowl, add the almond flour, SunButter, and maple syrup.

Use a spatula to thoroughly mix together.

If it seems too wet to handle, add more almond flour.

If it seems too dry, add a little more SunButter.

You want the dough to be dry enough to handle, but not crumbly.

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.

How to Make the Chocolate Coating

Transfer the pan to the freezer to chill while preparing the chocolate.

Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small heat safe bowl and microwave for ~30 second intervals until it is fully melted, stirring after each round.

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.

Decorate Your Eggs

Place the chocolate coated eggs back on the parchment-lined dish or baking sheet and repeat until all eggs are dipped.

At this point, you can also choose to decorate them by adding toppings like cacao nibs, shredded coconut, or additional chocolate drizzle.

I like to drizzle mine with a little extra chocolate to make a zigzag design on top.

After you’re done decorating (or not decorating!), place the eggs back in the freezer to set; about ~10 minutes.

Brand Notes

No Sugar Added SunButter is the star of this recipe and gives these chocolate eggs a nutty flavor, a boost of healthy fats, and adds plant-based protein.

While you can use any flavor of SunButter for this recipe, I love No Sugar Added SunButter because it has a hint of sea salt that really draws out the other flavors.

Using SunButter keeps these bars moist and creamy (no one wants a too dry Easter egg!) without adding additional oil.

I highly recommend using a new jar of SunButter for this recipe for the creamiest dreamiest Easter eggs.

How to Serve SunButter Chocolate Easter Eggs

These SunButter Chocolate Easter Eggs are perfect for the whole Easter gang!

When the chocolate shell is firm to the touch, remove the eggs from the freezer and enjoy immediately.

Make them for your family, your friends, your kids, or yourself.

They’re great for everyone because they’re vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, oil-free, and refined-sugar-free.

If you don’t finish them all on Easter, that’s OK!

They keep in the refrigerator for up to one week and can be frozen for a month or more.

Enjoy!
