Fans of peanut butter cups cherish springtime for one reason: Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs.
With a spot-on ratio of peanut butter filling chocolate coating, the sweet, the creamy eggs are nothing short of iconic. Thing is, your average chocolate-PB egg goodness comes at the cost of 16 grams of sugar, preservatives, and artificial flavoring.
Don’t get us wrong; there’s a time and place for the OG treat. But if using clean ingredients and keeping sugar lower are top priorities, these Better-For-You Collagen Reese’s Eggs certainly get the job done.
Created by healthy recipe guru Kim Capella and made with clean ingredients and sweeteners like honey and stevia, they’re a springtime treat you can truly feel good about. Plus, with a little help from The Vitamin Shoppe brand Collagen Peptides, they pack extra protein and nutrition.
