Healthified Cadbury Eggs + Reese's Eggs

Happy Easter, Buona Pasqua! For whatever reason, the Reese's Easter eggs always tasted better than normal Reese's, didn't they? Not sure if those, the chocolate oranges (healified previously on this site and also taste identical!) or or the mini Cadbury eggs with the vanilla shell were my favorite... either way Easter was always a toxic sugar overdose, I know better now. I made advanced plan Reese's eggs last year and they tasted identical... so I was excited :) I always loved those, and my brother loooves Cadbury eggs so Sam and I tried to healthify them when I was home, they came out really yummy and it's fun to make your own candies for your family and friends. Hope you enjoy and Happy Easter to you and yours!

CADBURY EGGS:
Shell:2-3 Simply Lite Milk Chocolate bars (depending on how many egg molds you purchase)
* you'll need egg molds that you can get at most craft stores for a few dollars or online


Filling:
1/4 cup organic butter 
1/4 cup coconut cream (from canned coconut milk, use the rest for chia pudding!)
1/3 cup xylitol
1 fresh egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bourbon (from Trader Joe's or if you don't have any vanilla extract with no sugar added)
1/8th tsp sea salt


In a double boiler, melt down chocolate bars. Coat the shell lining and place in the freezer, allow to firm while making the filling. Once the filling has been made and the shells are solid, scoop filling into eggs and cover with remaining chocolate, then place in freezer. Once set you can leave them in the freezer or refrigerator, depending on the consistency you want the filling to be.




FILLING:
Heat butter, cream, and xyltiol, stirring over over low heat until butter is completely melted. Whisk in egg yolk and cook over medium-low heat until mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon (should take 3-5 minutes). It will leave a trail when you drag your finger across the back of the spoon. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Place in freezer until it firms up, makes it easier for filling. Remove shells,  Chill until cool to the touch.

REESE'S EGGS:

1 jar Trader Joe's Valencia Natural PB (green label, don't refrigerate)

1 8oz package organic cream cheese (softened)

1 cup xyltol

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)

Blend in food processor til smooth, fill the egg shells or make into egg shapes on wax paper and coat with chocolate! Allow to cool in refrigerator or freezer & enjoy!
