Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter Filling
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tbsp Honey House Clover Honey
For the Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Optional Garnish
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Small microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
- Fork or dipping tool
Pro Tips
- Use Natural Peanut Butter: Make sure your peanut butter contains only peanuts (and maybe salt) – no added oils or sugar. The natural oils in it help the filling come together perfectly with the coconut flour.
- Don't Skip the Freeze: Freezing the egg shapes before dipping is essential. A firm, well-chilled filling means clean, smooth chocolate coating every time.
- Coconut Flour Tip: Coconut flour is highly absorbent, so use exactly 1/4 cup – no more. The dough should be firm and moldable, not crumbly. If it feels too dry, add a tiny extra drizzle of honey.
- Melt Chocolate Low and Slow: Whether you're using a microwave or double boiler, melt your chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Stir frequently and add the coconut oil to keep it silky and dippable.
- Storage: Keep finished eggs in the fridge or freezer – they hold their shape best when cold and taste incredible straight from the freezer.
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut flour, and Honey House Clover Honey. Stir until a thick, uniform dough forms.
- Scoop the dough and shape into 9 egg shapes by hand. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for 30 minutes, until the eggs are firm to the touch.
- While the eggs are freezing, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over low heat.
- Remove the eggs from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each egg into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet. Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the top for a classic finish.
- Return to the freezer for at least another 30 minutes, until the chocolate is fully set.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt just before serving if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
Storage Tips
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freezer: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months – they taste amazing straight from frozen!
- Make ahead: Shape and freeze the peanut butter eggs up to 3 days before dipping in chocolate. Dip and freeze the day before serving for the freshest result.
- Serving temperature: Best enjoyed cold, straight from the fridge or freezer, for that satisfying chocolate snap.
Recipe Notes
The magic of this recipe is in how just three simple filling ingredients come together to create something that genuinely tastes like your favorite candy. Coconut flour gives the peanut butter filling a slightly dense, fudgy texture that mimics the classic Reese's filling beautifully, while Honey House Clover Honey brings a delicate floral sweetness that's far more nuanced than plain sugar. The result is a filling that's naturally sweet, subtly rich, and completely addictive.
Using Honey House Clover Honey here isn't just about sweetness – it's about quality. Our 100% pure, raw, American-sourced clover honey contains no additives, no syrups, and nothing artificial. It's exactly as the bees created it, and you can taste the difference. When you're keeping a recipe this clean and simple, every ingredient matters, and honey that's truly pure makes all the difference.
Perfect Pairings
These peanut butter eggs are a treat on their own, but here are a few ways to make them even better:
- A cold glass of oat milk or almond milk
- Hot coffee or a creamy latte for that classic peanut butter-coffee combo
- A drizzle of extra Honey House Clover Honey over the top just before serving
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an over-the-top dessert
- Alongside a fresh fruit platter for an Easter or spring spread
Variation Ideas
While the classic peanut butter and dark chocolate combination is absolutely divine, feel free to get creative with these alternative options:
Honey House Recommendations
- Sweet heat twist: Swap Honey House Clover Honey for Honey House Hot Honey to add a subtle kick of heat that plays beautifully against the rich dark chocolate – unexpected and incredible.
- Lighter floral notes: Try Honey House Alfalfa Honey in place of clover honey for a milder, slightly buttery sweetness that lets the peanut butter shine even more.
- Creamy dreamy filling: Use Honey House Creamed Honey for a thicker, spreadable sweetness that blends seamlessly into the peanut butter filling and adds a wonderfully smooth texture.
Other Great Options
- Nut butter swap: Replace peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free or different flavor profile.
- White chocolate coating: Use melted white chocolate instead of dark for a sweeter, creamier shell.
- Mini eggs: Shape the dough into smaller, bite-sized eggs and reduce the second freeze to 15 minutes for a fun, snackable version.
- Crunchy filling: Stir in 2 tbsp of crushed graham cracker or rice crisps into the filling for an added crunch.
- Festive shapes: Use a silicone mold to press the filling into hearts, circles, or other shapes – great for holidays beyond Easter.
- Extra chocolate drizzle: Melt a second type of chocolate (white or milk) and drizzle over the finished eggs for a bakery-style presentation.
