This weekend has been busy with experimenting with different recipes to show my family when I come home to visit! One of the fun things I worked on this weekend was replicating and paleo-fying a Ross Family Tradition "Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs". For years my mother and now sister and I have been making these as an easter tradition. This year I wanted to try to see if I could make a paleo friendly look (and hopefully taste) - alike to try to continue with the tradition.
Recipe: Paleo Chocolate Almond Butter Eggs
2 cups Powdered Stevia
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp Arrowroot starch
1/8 lb GF butter (or coconut oil)
1/2 lb Almond Butter
---
4 sq unsweetened bakers chocolate
1/4 cake parafin wax (optional)
2 tbsp GF butter (or coconut oil)
liquid stevia for sweetness
For the first half of ingredients: Mix together all ingredients with a hand mixer. With this we're going to form little egg shaped balls. If the mixture is too 'wet' try adding some almond flour (or coconut flour) to dry it out a little (my mixture was a little on the wet side)..if for some reason it's on the dry side and you're unable to keep the egg shape to stick, add a little almond or coconut milk to moisten the mixture.
For the second half of ingredients: Melt the ingredients in a double boiler or small crockpot. Keep chocolate warm
Once egg shapes are formed and the chocolate is nice and melted, dunk the eggs into the chocolate and put on wax paper or foil to cool. With the remaining chocolate you can drizzle more chocolate on top if you want to be fancy or maybe use it for fruit (I decided to dip some strawberries I had in the refrigerator YUM!)

So what's the verdict? Do they taste as good as the original eggs? Also, people must know that adding too much milk will completely ruin the eggs and Easter in general (lol), so definitely be sparing on the amount of milk you add when it's too dry.
They look good . But. How do they taste?
They actually taste pretty good considering there's no sugar and no peanut butter :)
They taste great! Perfect for a sweet craving! The powdered sugar in the original (real) recipe dries the peanut butter out much more than the stevia does for the almond butter.. So I didn't end up needing any almond milk in this case! So it's like I saved Easter again!
I wish I knew hoe they taste. She won't let me try one.
Stop callin me a hoe and maybe I would let you! Lmao jk! I guess I can share :)
Stupid autocorrect!!!
