I’m going to keep this post short because if you’re here, you’re going to want to make these Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Eggs immediately!
I can honestly say I’ve been making this recipe for at least 25 years. I got the original recipe from a friend that I worked with at an advertising agency. She made THE BEST peanut butter eggs! Of course, back in those days we made our PB Eggs with margarine and paraffin in the chocolate.
I know, horrors! I survived but I believe it was all those small, misunderstood choices that lead me down a poor health path.
See, when we eat things like that, our bodies really struggle to figure out what to do with it. Your liver, an organ that decides how to filter everything you eat, drink, smell and absorb into your skin, has to work overtime when we introduce substances that can’t easily be metabolized. I spent years introducing toxic substances into my body in various ways until I couldn’t any longer. My body eventually cried “Uncle!” and I came face to face with what I hadn’t ever realized I’d done.
That being said, I now make these eggs with much more responsible ingredients. I no longer use margarine or toxic seed oils. I no longer put petroleum-derived paraffin wax in my chocolate to make sure it’s stable at room temperature. I can keep my chocolate refrigerated – it’s cooler that way, anyway. 😉 I use %20“>natural peanut butter without any added oils or sugars. You’re going to add plenty of sugar in this recipe, you do not need extra high fructose corn syrup too.
And, let’s talk about marshmallow fluff. Ugh. This product, in any other instance, is not in my cupboard. Like everyone else, I used to use regular, corn-derived fluff. Then my niece was diagnosed with a corn allergy and also I didn’t want to use anything that was GMO so I found

Hey there!! I’m trying to figure out how to do these with xylitol or eurythmics? I can do the semi sweet chocolate but not all the sugar? Any ideas? They look amazing!
I thought about that but I think it would be difficult. You might want to look for a keto peanut butter egg recipe on Pinterest. Someone may have figured out the ratios and the best carb-free sweetener to use.
