Ingredients
1/4cupPeanut Butter
20Datespitted
1/4cupAlmond Milkunsweetened
Dark Chocolatedairy free
1/4cupDry Roasted Peanuts
Instructions
Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave safe glass bowl.
Chop up the peanuts and half of the dates.
Combine peanut butter, the remaining (unchopped) half of the dates, and almond milk in a food processor and process until smooth. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed. Once smooth, place in the freezer until ready to use (this makes it less sticky when placing it in the molds).
Coat the bottom and sides of the molds with melted chocolate using a spoon. You can also use small muffin tins in place of molds. If using small muffin tins, wipe them with oil first so the chocolate treats come out easily.
Place the chocolate filled molds/muffin tin in the freezer for a few minutes until chocolate is hardened.
Remove the molds and peanut butter puree mixture from the freezer. Fill half of each egg or muffin tin with the peanut butter mixture.
Sprinkle the chopped up peanut and dates in the molds/muffin tins until they are all filled to the top. Pour melted chocolate in each mold/muffin tin to fill the remaining space. Place back in the freezer to harden.
Once hard, remove the treats from the molds/tins. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
When melting chocolate for your Easter treats we recommend 100% Cacao Baker’s baking chocolate. This is not sweet at all so we like to use half 100% Cacao Baker's baking chocolate and half dairy-free dark chocolate. If you're looking for something sweeter then its best to find a dairy-free brand and the higher percent of cocoa the better. Here are some dairy-free brands, although, depending on the percentage, many will still have sugar.
