  • Place peanut butter eggs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 45 minutes or until hard.
  • Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl (in the microwave) using 30-second intervals (stir after each interval) until smooth. This will take about a minute. DO NOT overheat or chocolate will not be usable.

Notes

You can also use semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips melted with a small couple of teaspoons of coconut oil mixed in, in place of the melting chocolate wafers.
