How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Easter Eggs

Step 1: Split the dates

They should already be split and pitted, but if not gently slice each date open lengthwise and remove the pit if needed. You want to create a little pocket for the filling.

Step 2: Fill with peanut butter

Spoon peanut butter into the center of each date and press it in slightly so it stays put.

Step 3: Cover in chocolate

Melt your chocolate chips (microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between).
Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Use a fork to lift it out and let the excess drip off.

Step 4: Add toppings

Place onto a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with coarse sea salt or fun Easter sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.

Step 5: Let set

Pop the tray into the fridge for about 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use soft Medjool dates – they’re easier to open and taste sweeter
• Don’t overfill with peanut butter or they’ll be harder to coat
• If your chocolate is too thick, add a tiny bit of coconut oil to smooth it out
• Work quickly when adding toppings before the chocolate sets

---

Storage

Store these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week (if they last that long!).

You can also freeze them for a longer-lasting treat – they taste amazing straight from the freezer.

---

Easy Variations

• Swap peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter
• Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor
• Add a sprinkle of crushed peanuts on top for crunch
• Drizzle extra chocolate over top for that classic “Reese’s egg” look
