Scale

Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

5 tablespoons solid coconut oil
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Peanut Butter Layer

4 tablespoons solid coconut oil
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
pinch of salt

Instructions

Melt the coconut oil for both layers in a small sauce pot over low heat until liquid.
In a medium bowl, mix together all chocolate layer ingredients including 5 tablespoons of the melted coconut oil.
In a second bowl, mix together all peanut butter layer ingredients including the remaining 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil.
In a silicone egg-shaped mold, spoon chocolate (or peanut butter) mixture into each mold, only going halfway full.
Gently shake and tap the mold to smooth out the first layer, then add the opposite layer on top, filling mold to the rim. Each egg should be filled halfway with the chocolate mixture and halfway with the peanut butter mixture.
Place the filled silicone egg trays in the freezer to firm up for 30 minutes, then serve.

Notes

Store eggs in the refrigerator or freezer, as they will become soft at room temperature.
