If you missed what I made for Superbowl treats this year… don’t wait til next year to make them, do it now! Trust me. They melt in your mouth and taste even better than the classic Reese’s Chocolate Eggs– you know the ones that come out around Easter? Those were hands down my favorite candy growing up, anyone else??
They’re just the ideal chocolate peanut butter combination and I’ve never been more here for it. I made the OG copycat recipe years ago, but figured it was time to recreate into something else. And ok, they did not disappoint 😉 Just 7 easy ingredients and topped with coconut butter for the laces (so cute, right!)
Try these out for the next football game you go to or just make the original eggs since Easter is comin’ up next!

Do you happen to have the nutritional information for these?
How many chocolate eggs does this make?
Hi Rachael! This sounds fricken delicious! I don’t have coconut or almond flour. But I do have Costco’s Perfect Blend flour (brown rice flour, tapioca starch, arrowroot powder) would it be a similar sub as almond?
