- 1/2 cup peanut butter or allergy-friendly sub
- optional dash salt
- 1/4 cup protein powder or oat flour or almond flour
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (For sugar free, try these Chocolate Peanut Butter Candies)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (for coconut-free option, see note above)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, honey, or agave, or stevia to taste
Recipe: If nut butter isn't soft, gently warm until stir-able. Mix first four ingredients in a bowl to form a crumbly dough. Different nut butters will yield different results, so if dough is too gooey, add up to 2 tbsp oat flour or protein powder. Or add a little more nut butter if too dry. Taste, and add a little more salt if desired. Transfer to a ziploc, smush into one big ball, then form dough into flat little ovals or egg shapes. Freeze 1 hr or until firm. Meanwhile, mix the cocoa and melted coconut oil in a shallow dish. Add the liquid sweetener. If you use the stevia option, also add a scant 2 tbsp extra oil or water. Mix until it looks like chocolate sauce. Take one “egg” from the freezer at a time and dip in chocolate, using a corn skewer or fork. Immediately return covered egg to the freezer to harden. Best to store these in the freezer as well. You can thaw a little before eating, or eat when frozen--either way, they're awesome!View Nutrition Facts
