Instructions

Make the Fillings

Peanut Butter: Mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Roll into small egg-shaped balls.
Coconut: Stir together coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until sticky. Shape into eggs.
Caramel: Melt caramels with heavy cream in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly, then shape into small egg-sized pieces.

Place all fillings on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.

Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Let cool slightly before dipping the candies.

3. Coat the Candies

Using a fork or toothpick, dip each frozen candy filling into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Place on parchment paper and add sprinkles, crushed nuts, or drizzle with colored chocolate for decoration.

4. Set & Enjoy!

Let the candies sit at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until set.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

For healthier candies, use dark chocolate and natural peanut butter.
Swap caramel for Nutella or cookie butter for fun variations.
