Hip recipe tips for making the BEST Keto Chocolate Almond Butter Eggs:
- For the creamy and sweet filling, be sure to grab all-natural almond butter without added sugar. If you prefer peanut butter, it can be used instead. This could also be an opportunity to make your own keto almond butter using this recipe!
- I used Swerve as a sweetener, and it worked great! You can of course use your favorite keto-friendly sweetener brand.
- For the shell, I melted and then dipped my almond butter eggs in some stevia-sweetened Lily’s chocolate bars. I love how well this chocolate melts and sets up nicely. It tastes incredible too!
- You’ll need some fun egg-shaped molds and these non-stick silicone ones I picked up on Amazon.com worked out perfectly for this recipe! The eggs easily popped out of them once frozen.
Keto Chocolate Almond Butter Eggs

prep time: 1 HOUR 20 MINUTES
cook time: 15 MINUTES

Bite into a sweet almond butter-filled chocolate-covered egg, a fun keto-approved candy!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/3 cup Swerve granular sweetener
- 4.5 oz. Lily's dark chocolate (or 1 and 1/2 candy bars)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil, for melting with chocolate
Directions
1
In a medium bowl, add butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond butter, and Swerve. Use a hand mixer to beat ingredients together until smooth, for about a minute.
2
Transfer mixture to the egg molds and evenly fill them. If desired, you can use ice cube trays or mini baking cup liners instead.
3
Place mold in the freezer and let eggs freeze for at least a couple of hours to set.
4
Chop chocolate into small pieces and place it into a glass bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave for about 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir the chocolate until completely smooth and melted.
5
Prepare a baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Dip chilled eggs into chocolate to coat evenly. I used a toothpick to keep my fingers clean.
6
Place chocolate-covered eggs onto parchment paper, then place in freezer until set, for about 15 minutes at least. Enjoy!

These keto chocolate almond butter eggs are Egg-straordinary!
These are seriously YUMMY! If you’re tempted to eat any Easter candy over the holiday, these would be a great make-ahead treat idea to help keep you on track when the craving hits. I am honestly pretty picky about keto desserts as far as taste and texture go, and LOVED these so much.
I would store them in the fridge or freezer in a covered container. They will keep for about a month in the freezer, but let’s face it — these will go quick! 😄

PERFECT for Easter…thanks! 😃👍🏻
Yes! You’re welcome Rick 👍
I’m confused about the net carbs on this. I thought you took the total carbs minus the fiber to come up with the net carbs. 15.8g – 6.3g fiber = 9.3 net. How is it 2.9 on the nutritional info posted?
Hi Sara! Sorry for any confusion.❤️ Be sure to also subtract the 6.6g Sugar Alcohols. You can find more on calculating the net carbs over here – https://hip2keto.com/tips/read-nutritional-label-keto/
Hope this is helpful! 🤗
These were not so great, unfortunately. I put some sea salt on one and it tasted better.
SO sorry to hear that, Katie. Thanks for the honest feedback. ❤️Good to know the salt helped. Feel free to let us know if there is any part of the recipe that we could further help with, for if you decide to make these again. 🤗
Oh. My. Goodness. These are wonderful! I detest almond flour because it makes everything so dry and crumbly although I did take someone else’s suggestion to another recipe and added yogurt which made it much better. So when this recipe had no flour, I jumped on it! Forgot the sweetener so added about half with the chocolate. The first one was okay. The second, third and fourth ones were yum yum yum!
Yay! Thanks for taking the time to share with us! SO glad you enjoyed them! 🤗🥰🙌
