- Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of dough and shape into egg forms using your hands. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Freeze the peanut butter eggs for about 30 minutes or until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

- Refrigerate or freeze until chocolate is set.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter for best consistency and flavor.
