Healthy Peanut Butter Egg Recipe

Hey ! You know I'm a peanut-butter-a-holic. And I also happen to love chocolate, so naturally... I love reese's cups or peanut butter eggs.
What I don't love is the crazy amounts of sugar and ridiculous list of ingredients packed into each bite. (Seriously, have you read the label lately?!)
That's why I created a healthier version... (just in time for Easter!)

Healthy Peanut Butter Eggs Recipe Ingredients: THE BEST PART (aka Peanut-Butter Filling)
:
*1 (18 ounce) jar creamy NATURAL peanut butter (or homemade!)
*1/2 cup coconut oil, softened
*1 (8 ounce) pkg cream cheese, softened
*1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 cup Ideal(r) Low calorie Confectionery Sweetener
*1 cup Truvia (or any stevia)

Chocolate:
*2 Tablespoons coconut oil
*1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
*5 Tablespoons coconut milk
*1/4 cup Ideal(r) Low calorie Confectionery Sweetener
*Stevia to taste (depending on how bitter or sweet you like your chocolate)
*Unsweetened cocoa powder to taste

Directions: For the peanut-butter filling....1. Using a coffee grinder, grind the sweetener until a fine powder to resemble powdered sugar.
2. Beat cream cheese, coconut oil, peanut butter and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
3. Beat in sweetener.
4. Line muffin tin and place rounded tablespoonfuls of peanut-butter filling into each liner.
5. Chill for 30 minutes.

For the chocolate...1. Place the coconut oil and chopped chocolate in a double boiler (or in a heat safe dish over a pot of boiling water).
2. Stir until just melted (don't let it burn- it's gross!)
3. Add in the cocoa powder, cream and sweetener.
4. Stir until smooth and thick.
5. Pour warm chocolate coating over each peanut-butter cup.

Store in the refrigerator.
And most of all... ENJOY!
