Easter is this Sunday and that means the aisles are lined with all the candies I use to eat as a child. PB + Chocolate anything has always been one of my favorite combos.
So, I created a copycat version of one of my childhood favorites, Reese’s Easter Eggs, that are just as indulgent. Sometimes I have a hard time consuming peanut butter so I decided to make these peanut butter free! But, I wanted them to taste as close to peanut butter as possible. I had my husband try them when he got home last night and he said “this was one of his favorite things I have made that taste like what it is suppose to taste like” so, I think that means they are really good.
Here are a couple of reasons why I think you will love them too.
These pb-free eggs are:
easy
satisfying
rich
nut-free
vegan
gluten-free
