The scoop: Healthier version of your favourite Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, with a crispy element, and no refined sugars.
Have you guys checked out our Salted Chocolate Nut Butter Cups yet? This is hands down one of our favourite recipes on the blog. A vegan, gluten-free, raw copycat of Reese’s peanut butter cups, but just made a tad healthier.
We’ve decided to do a mini re-vamp, just in time for the holidays and turn those nut butter cups into these Crispy Healthy Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg copycats.
Made literally the exact same way, except we added an element of crisp, and rolled them into egg sized peanut butter balls, and coated with chocolate!
Delicious and nutritious. These Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg copycats are:
- High in protein
- Low in sugar and contain no refined sugars.
- High in healthy fats, from coconut oil and nuts
- Easy to prep, easy to take on the go.
- A healthier alternative to the Reese’s Cups you know and love.
