Questions, Answers, Tips & Tricks:

What trays did you use?

I used these Silicone Molding Trays and they came out perfect! My family was super impressed with how professional these looked, but all the credit goes to the silicone molds, lol

Do I need to refrigerate my eggs?

Yes! Letting your eggs set is a super important step in the process. I know it adds time, but you will thank me later when the set as prefect as a Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Egg!

Do I need to spray the molds?

Nope! Don’t you just love when there is less prep? I know I do! There is no need to spray the molds first (with this recipe). Once your eggs have set, they will pop right out when you go to remove them.

What type of Peanut Butter did you use?

Whenever I am making a recipe that calls for peanut butter, I use my very own homemade peanut butter that I make and store. Want to make your own peanut butter, check out the video!

ChozZero vs. Lily’s Chocolates

For this recipe, I used ChozZero. However, this is truly a personal preference. I started choosing ChozZero over Lily’s chocolates (even though Lily’s brand is more easily found in most grocery stores) because I noticed I’d always end up with an upset stomach. The ChocZero brand of chocolates does not have the same effect on me, but it is truly a personal preference!

How long can I store my chocolate peanut butter eggs?

If you (and/or your family) are about to refrain from eating them all, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. I truly don’t think they will last that long. Now, if you are nothing like me and able to practice restraint, you can also store them in the freezer for 3 months.

Pro-Tip on Storage: They definitely need to be kept in the fridge though. When left at room temperature, your eggs will get melty.
