Recipe: Paleo Chocolate Almond Butter Eggs





Happy Monday!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.2 cups Powdered Stevia1/2 tsp vanilla extract1 Tbsp Arrowroot starch1/8 lb GF butter (or coconut oil)1/2 lb Almond Butter---4 sq unsweetened bakers chocolate1/4 cake parafin wax (optional)2 tbsp GF butter (or coconut oil)liquid stevia for sweetnessMix 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.Melt the ingredients in a double boiler or small crockpot. Keep chocolate warmOnce 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!)Kim
