Method
- In a bowl, mix together peanut butter and coconut oil. Stir in Clean Lean Protein until a “dough” forms.
- Form egg shapes with the peanut butter mixture (1 tbsp each) and place onto a parchment paper-lined plate. Set plate in the freezer for 1 hour.
- After an hour, add chocolate chips and coconut oil into a small bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted.
- Dip each PB egg in the chocolate mixture until fully coated. Set back onto the plate and back into the freezer for at least 30 min. Once they re-freeze you can carefully cut off the edges to make them look prettier hehe
