Need a fun way to fill Easter baskets as a family? Why not involve the kids in creating some chocolate nests or no-bake peanut butter chocolate eggs! These treats are also easy items for little hands to place on a dessert charcuterie board to set the perfect holiday table.

These recipes use Once Again’s organic no-stir peanut butter. Handcrafted in small batches, the high-quality, lightly sweetened spread features dry-roasted peanuts, milled beautifully creamy, for a rich, nutty flavor that perfectly complements milk or dark chocolate. The family-friendly pantry staple contains no added preservatives, no hydrogenated oils, and is also Non-GMO Project Verified, vegan, certified gluten free, and part of the company’s Honest in Trade sustainability program. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Nests & Eggs

Nest Ingredients:

2 cups pretzel sticks

1 cup milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup Once Again Peanut Butter

1 12-oz. bag mini Cadbury eggs

Directions:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in the pretzel sticks until well covered. 

2. Create mounds of the covered pretzel sticks into the shape of nests and place on the baking sheet. Place the Cadbury eggs into the middle of the nests. Once hardened, gently remove the egg nests and enjoy!

Servings: Makes 4 eggs

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Egg Ingredients:

1 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup of Once Again Creamy Peanut Butter

3 Tbs. coconut flour

Directions:

1. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave or your preferred method. Pour about 1 Tbs. or more into each egg silicone mold to coat and place in freezer to set for about 10 minutes.

2. In the meantime, add 1/4 cup of peanut butter to a small bowl and combine with about 3 Tbs. of coconut flour. You may need a little extra if the peanut butter is too thin. You’ll know it’s right when the consistency is of modeling clay.

3. Remove eggs from freezer, fill with peanut butter, add layer of chocolate, and return to freezer to set. Enjoy once set. Refrigerate in sealed container 3-5 days.
