Ingredients 

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • ¼ cup vegan butter softened, at room temperature (or regular butter for non-veg version)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Cover a large tray with baking paper.
  • In a small saucepan, add peanut butter, vegan butter, brown sugar, vanilla and salt.
  • Mix the ingredients.
  • Put the saucepan on low-medium heat for 5-6 minutes, until the ingredients melt and turn into cream. Mix the composition to incorporate completely.
  • Remove the mixture from the heat, let it cool for a few minutes and start adding the powdered sugar.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually, and mix continuously for a desired result and creamy composition.
  • Let the composition return to room temperature, around 20 minutes.
  • Use a large spoon to measure the size of each egg.
  • Take the composition and form an "egg" with the help of your palms.
  • Place the egg on the lined tray prepared in advance and continue until the dough is finished.
  • Put the tray with peanut eggs in the freezer until they harden. It can take from 15 to 25 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare the chocolate glaze.
  • Put the chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl and put the bowl in the microwave or use the bain-marie method to melt the ingredients. Mix well so that the chocolate and oil are incorporated.
  • Dip the frozen eggs, one by one, into the chocolate mixture using a fork. Allow the excess chocolate to drain and place the egg back on the tray.
  • After all the eggs are glazed, put the tray in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
