Healthy Homemade Reese’s Eggs

The best healthy homemade Reese’s eggs are made with only 4 ingredients. They’re gluten free and a heck of lot better than store bought! I love Reese’s but I don’t love the ingredients list on them. These never last more than a couple of days in my house. Make these as a special treat on Easter this year.

Ingredients for homemade reese’s eggs

Natural runny peanut butter – My favorite is the costco brand. It’s made with only 2 ingredients (peanuts & salt) and works so well for this recipe.

Almond flour – Really helps bind these together and has a mild taste that doesn’t over power the peanut butter and chocolate taste.

Pure Maple Syrup– for added natural sweetness

Chocolate – Semi sweet or dark chocolate are my favorite. You can use milk chocolate too. I always add coconut oil to chocolate while I’m melting it, makes it smooth and easy to work with.
