3 ingredient Choc Caramel Monster Eggs!
- Cook Time: 1 hour
- Persons: 8-12
- Difficulty: Easy
- Ingredients
- For the filling –
- 1/2 peanut (or almond) butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2-3 Tbsp powdered sweetener of choice – I love using powdered monk fruit / icing sugar (I just buy it @ woolworths) you can use regular icing sugar or powdered stevia if you prefer – coconut flour or protein powder works too but not as smooth (or sweet/ authentic tasting)
- Pch of salt
- 1 Tbsp collagen – optional but adds a hit of protein & is great for hair, skin nails & gut healing goodness
- For the coating –
- 1 C salted caramel choc
– they’re also amazing w/ reg dark choc if you don’t have or can’t get salted caramel - 1 tsp coconut oil – opt
- 1 Tbsp dark choc for drizzling
- Instructions
- Line a small tray (or plate) with baking/parchment paper and set it aside
- Place all filling ingredients into a small bowl and stir until well combined.
- Taking approximately 1 Tablespoon at a time (depending on how big or small you want your egg to be) roll them into balls, then gently pinch one end to create an egg shape then place your PB egg onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat until all mixture has been used then place your PB egg-laden tray into the fridge or freezer for 5-10 mins to chill while you prepare that dreamy chocolate coating.
- Melt chocolate by your preferred method.
- Removed chilled PB eggs from the fridge/freezer.
- Taking one PB egg at a time, place into melted chocolate, use 2 forks to gently toss/coat each egg, tap off any excess melted chocolate and return to your lined tray.
- Repeat until all PB eggs have their delicious chocolate coating.
- Drizzle any remaining chocolate over your now coating PB eggs.
- Pop them back into the fridge (or freezer) for 5-10 mins to set.
- Devour!
These delicious little eggs will keep well in the fridge for several weeks but can also be stored in the freezer for 3-6 months!
Enjoy xo
