Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 1/2 cups powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or PB2)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (about 4 oz)
Chocolate Coating
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Peanut Butter and Applesauce: In a bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of powdered peanut butter and all of the unsweetened applesauce. Stir until well blended to create a smooth peanut butter filling.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the mixture’s texture. For a thicker, fudgier consistency, add the remaining 1/4 cup of powdered peanut butter. For a creamier texture, keep it as is.
- Shape the Eggs: Divide the dough mixture into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then gently flatten them to form egg shapes. If the mixture feels too soft to shape, chill it in the fridge until firm enough.
- Chill the Eggs: Place the shaped peanut butter eggs in the fridge or freezer to cool and harden, making them easier to coat with chocolate.
- Melt Chocolate: While the eggs chill, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat Eggs in Chocolate: Dip each chilled peanut butter egg into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Optionally, drizzle extra melted chocolate on top for decoration.
- Set the Chocolate: Let the chocolate-coated eggs sit until the chocolate sets and hardens, which can be expedited by placing them back in the fridge.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has fully set, your PB Fit Easter Eggs are ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
- If the peanut butter filling is too soft to shape, chilling it in the fridge will firm it up nicely.
- You can customize with milk, dark, or white chocolate chips based on your preference.
- Store the finished eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- These treats are naturally lower in fat compared to traditional peanut butter eggs due to the powdered peanut butter.
- Use unsweetened applesauce to keep the sugar content minimal.
