Ingredients

For the peanut butter mixture

1 cup natural peanut butter (stirred; use unsweetened for less sugar) For best texture, use natural, stirred peanut butter.
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (maple for vegan) Adjust sweetness based on protein powder flavor.
2 cups protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based; flavorless or chocolate works) Use medium to low moisture protein powder for best results.
1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened) Ensure to use unsweetened cocoa.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds nice flavor to the mixture.

For the chocolate coating

to coat cups Chocolate for coating (dark chocolate is ideal; use vegan chocolate if needed) Clean off excess chocolate after dipping.

Method

Preparation

In a medium bowl, stir together the natural peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth.
Add the protein powder, cocoa powder, and vanilla; mix until a uniform, moldable dough forms.
Scoop and shape the mixture into egg shapes (about 1–1.5 tablespoons each). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
Freeze the shaped eggs for about 30 minutes, until firm to the touch.

Chocolate Coating

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until silky.
Using two forks or dipping tools, dip each peanut-butter egg into the chocolate until fully coated. Tap off excess chocolate and return them to the baking sheet.
Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 10–15 minutes.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months. Serve chilled.
