Easter is less than one month away, and I have been thinking a lot about what I am putting in my kid’s Easter baskets. We all know and love the good old store-bought candy, but when it is so easy to make your own candy at home, why not? It is even easier to make these healthy vegan peanut butter eggs (Reese’s® Peanut Butter Egg copycat) in the Thermomix®. Here is how to make these healthy peanut butter eggs:
First, make the peanut butter mix by adding creamy peanut butter (preferably a little salted), coconut flour to make it more “cakey”, and maple syrup to sweeten to a Thermomix® mixing bowl and blend on speed 3. Shape the peanut butter mixture into eggs with your hands, and freeze for 15 minutes. In the meantime, melt the chocolate in a Thermomix® mixing bowl at 120F for 3 minutes with some coconut oil. You can also use the double boiler method, or microwave if you are careful not to burn the chocolate. Dip the eggs using a fork, and freeze again for 5 minutes so the chocolate can harden before eating.
Have you ever tried making your own peanut butter eggs at home? You can control the amount of sugar and the best part is there are no preservatives, yuck!
Let me know in the comments if you make them 🙂
