The Building Blocks of Bite Sized Bliss

The creamy peanut butter base holds everything together and gives a rich, nutty flavor. Smooth or crunchy peanut butter both work.
A little coconut flour goes a long way to help the mixture hold its shape.
Crisp rice cereal adds a light and airy crunch that makes these extra fun to eat.
Coconut oil plus cocoa creates a silky, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate coating that sets up nicely in the freezer.
Maple syrup naturally sweetens both the filling and coating with subtle flavor.
Toppings: I used Easter inspired candy coated chocolate for color, crunch, and a little festive flair. Change it to match the season or occasion. Use chopped nuts, coconut, sprinkles, or drizzle with colored chocolate.

How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Treats

Combine peanut butter and coconut oil. Add crisp rice cereal and mix well.
Form into balls or eggs, place on parchment and freeze.
Prepare toppings and set aside. Make chocolate mixture.
Dip frozen peanut butter balls or eggs into chocolate mixture, return to parchment. Sprinkle with toppings.
Chill once more before serving.

Sweet Success Secrets

Make sure peanut butter eggs are firm from the freezer before dipping in the chocolate.
Use two forks to make dipping and lifting the eggs so much easier.
Adjust the peanut butter mixture as needed. If it feels too soft, add a touch more coconut flour. Too firm? A little extra peanut butter will soften it.
Stir the chocolate mixture well and add more coconut oil if you want it thinner. Should it begin to separate, add a touch of water and mix well. This should bring everything together again.
Work quickly. Have your crushed candy ready to sprinkle on the chocolate before it sets.
These treats are best served chilled since the chocolate softens at room temperature.
