Chocolate Nut Butter Easter Eggs

These are adapted from my Guilt-Free Chocolate Recipe

Chocolate Nut Butter Easter Eggs

A little bit of fun for the Easter festivities without having to suffer any ill effects of sugar, dairy or gluten. I like my chocolate bitter and happily enjoy it without any sweetener but feel free to sweeten to taste with a little maple syrup or honey. To make these nut-free, try subbing the almond butter for tahini mixed with a little maple syrup or honey or use sunflower or pumpkin seed butter. Happy Easter x
