Steps:
- Add peanut butter to a medium mixing bowl along with maple syrup and stir to combine. This should thicken the peanut butter, depending on the quality/brand of peanut butter you're using.
- Add almond meal according to how thick the mixture is. If still runny, you may need to add 1 cup (or slightly more). If thick, start with 2/3 cup (amounts as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). You're going for a thick, moldable dough that's still moist.
- Use a cookie scoop or Tablespoon (I like this scoop) to scoop out rounded Tablespoon amounts (see photo)) and gently form into a disc/egg shape. Set on a parchment-lined dish or baking sheet and continue until all dough is formed - about 14-15 eggs (amount as original recipe is written).
- Transfer to the freezer to chill while making the white chocolate shell.
- Add macadamia nuts and desiccated coconut to a food processor and blend/mix on high until a smooth paste forms, scraping down sides as needed. Then add melted cocoa butter, maple syrup (or powdered sugar), vanilla, and sea salt (optional). Mix once more to combine.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more maple syrup (or powdered sugar) for sweetness, vanilla for vanilla flavor, or salt for saltiness. Set aside.
- Once the peanut butter eggs are slightly firm to the touch, remove from freezer and use a spoon or a fork to gently dip the eggs in white chocolate, making sure all sides are coated. Then tap off excess and return to parchment-lined dish or baking sheet. Repeat until all eggs are dipped. Then place the eggs back in the freezer to set.
- Once the shell is firm to the touch, remove from freezer and dip the eggs once more (repeating the process above). This makes the shell more opaque and thick, which makes the eggs easier to handle and package. Then place back in the freezer to set once more.
- Enjoy immediately! Store in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 1 month.

Steps:
- Combine peanut butter, butter, and milk, then mix in the confectioner's sugar until you have a batter consistency. Set aside.
- Sprinkle your sprinkles in the silicone molds, spreading them out a bit so they are not all at the bottom.
- Melt chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl on defrost or 1/2 power setting for 30 seconds. Remove, stir, and if not completely melted, continue in microwave for 15-second intervals until completely melted.
- Pour half of the mixture evenly into the molds, and with a spoon, "paint" some of the chocolate up the sides.
- Place about a tablespoon of the peanut butter in the center of each of the eggs, then cover with the remaining melted chocolate. You may need to remelt the chocolate in the microwave for 15 seconds depending on how long this step takes you.
- Place the mold in the freezer to allow the chocolate to harden, about an hour.
- Store in freezer until ready to eat. These can last in the freezer for about a week.
