Peanut Butter Chocolate Easter Egg Bon Bons

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Easter Eggs was definitely the muse for this creation but they’ve got nothin’ on this recipe. Chunky peanut butter, luxurious coco powder and a crisp dark chocolate shell make for an unstoppable combo.

So back story on all this – ya gurl is a HUGE procrastinator with I’d say..pretty much… everything (excluding my actual job, I’m pretty on point at that believe it or not). So naturally it’s 1am at work the night before I have off and I have this panic attack of WHAT THE FUCK AM I MAKING FOR EASTER and made a “all hands on deck” brain storming session with my staff to help me out.

God Bless Amazon Prime and their ‘1-click’ buying system because as soon as this idea surfaced it was a race against the clock to get those silicon molds (and cone stand for another recipe i’ll be posting later (; ).

If I were to do anything different with these, it would be to add more ice cream. I got too scared I wouldn’t be able to close the bon bon but I can be a little bitch sometimes and play it too safe so FILL THOSE PUPPIES UP when you do yours; promise it’ll be okay.

I also enjoy decorating things just as much as I enjoy actually making them so although I loved my psychedelic splatters of different easter colors on each chocolate egg, I’d probably go for a more uniform look next time. But hey- do whatever the hell ya want to make it look cool.

Lastly, i’d probably make them a smidge BIGGER. One of the issues of buying things online is not having a huge grasp on the actual size of the thing. The molds for this came in a surprising 3-pack but also probably half the size I was anticipating.

This also made me mentally okay with eating 4 and saying ‘it’s basically like I’m just eating 1′.

This ice cream is a bit different than the others we’ve gone over before because it doesn’t have eggies in it! That’s okay because the richness of the peanut butter makes up for it but keep an eye out because it gets thick in your ice cream machine just a touch faster than usual!

Stay tuned for one more fun Easter Recipe and as always stay screamin’ xox
