dark chocolate sunbutter bunnies

So I recently found out I'm allergic to peanuts, almonds, cashews......kale, garlic, eggs.......all dairy but goat's milk, bell pepper, ginger.......I mean I could keep going but I think you get the point.

Readjusting your diet around food allergies and sensitivities can be kind of daunting. With Easter quickly approaching the one thing that has been slapping me in the face everywhere I go are those darn delicious Reese's peanut butter eggs!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like they are taunting me! The struggle is so real! I have a major soft spot in my heart for anyone with food allergies because it's a hard road to travel sometimes.

Not to be defeated I played around in the kitchen and came up with a pretty tasty alternative using sunflower seed butter and allergy free dark chocolate chips. These little bunnies are not only quite delicious, but they also don't have all the added crap that prepackaged candies tends to have in them. Dare I say that these yummy treats are "healthy"?!

These are so easy to make! You don't have to use a bunny mold, but who doesn't love a chocolate bunny for Easter? You can buy one online here or pick one up at your local craft store.

Ingredients:

1 cup Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels - (these are dairy, nut and soy free) & Target sells this brand now!

1 tbsp. + 1tsp. coconut oil

1/2 cup organic sunflower seed butter

2 1/2 tbsp. grade b maple syrup

2 tsp. coconut flour

Directions:

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave at 30 second intervals stirring between until mixed and totally melted. Fill each bunny about halfway and use a butter knife to coat the sides. Stick tray in the freezer for a few minutes to allow the melted chocolate to set. Then mix together the sunflower seed butter, maple syrup & coconut flour. Pull tray out of freezer and add about 1/2 a tsp. of the sunbutter mixture to each bunny. Use a fork or butter knife to smoosh the butter down. Then pour the remaining chocolate over the top and stick the tray back into the freezer to set for about 15 minutes. Pull out your tray and carefully pop your bunnies out and enjoy!

They're soooooo good! And they would look adorable in an Easter brunch table setting!
