Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, maple syrup and powdered sugar until completely combined, then form the dough into a ball.
  • Lay down a piece of parchment paper and set the dough ball in the center, then cover the ball in another piece of parchment paper.
  • Press your hands down on the parchment covered dough ball to flatten, then continue to flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin. Be sure to leave the dough somewhat thick in order to replicate the taste of real Reese's.
  • Using a cookie cutter or a knife, cut out egg shapes and place each piece onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Combine the scraps of dough to form another dough ball and flatten again in order to use all of the dough. Repeat until no dough remains!
  • Freeze the eggs for 10 minutes to set.
  • When the eggs have 5 more minutes to freeze, add the chocolate to a bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  • Dip the eggs in the chocolate, gently coating the full surface with a fork. I recommend removing excess chocolate off of the top of the egg with the edge of a fork in order to create a thin coating.
  • Place each coated egg on a cooling rack over top of parchment paper to dry. You can spray the rack with avocado oil if you'd like to prevent sticking.
  • Opt to cool the eggs in the fridge or freezer if you'd like. Keep cold until ready to serve and enjoy!
