From Kitchen to Table

Mix the Peanut Butter Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined.

The texture should feel thick yet creamy perfect for shaping into soft candy centers.

Shape the Eggs

Portion the filling into 2-tablespoon portions.

Roll each portion into a ball using your hands, then gently shape it into a soft oval to resemble an egg.

Place the shaped eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze while preparing the coating.

Prepare the Speckle Mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and water until smooth.

Set aside while the chocolate coating is prepared.

Melt the White Chocolate

Add the white chocolate wafers and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between each round, until the mixture is fully melted and silky.

Whisk in the spirulina and matcha powder until the color becomes a soft pastel blue-green shade. Adjust gently if needed.

Pour the melted chocolate into a short drinking glass or narrow bowl for easy dipping.

Coat the Peanut Butter Eggs

The eggs should be semi-frozen for the best coating results.

Insert a toothpick into the bottom of an egg and dip it into the melted white chocolate. Let the excess drip off slowly.

Once the coating begins to set, place the egg back on the parchment paper and gently remove the toothpick.

This small step keeps the chocolate shell smooth and evenly coated.

Add the Speckled Finish

Dip a pastry brush into the cocoa mixture.

Holding the brush about 8 inches above the eggs, flick the bristles to create delicate chocolate speckles across the shells.

Refrigerate the eggs for about 10 minutes, just until the chocolate fully firms.
