1/8 tsp salt (optional)
04 -
1 tbsp pure maple syrup

# Steps to Follow:

If peanut butter is not already soft, gently warm it until easy to stir. Combine nut butter, flour, optional salt, and pure maple syrup to form a dough. Adjust consistency with more peanut butter if too dry or more flour if too wet.

Use your hands to form eggs or shapes of choice. Place them on a plate and refrigerate to firm up.

Carefully melt the chocolate chips until smooth. Alternatively, prepare a chocolate sauce if desired.

Dip the shaped dough into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coating. Place on a parchment-lined plate and chill to set the coating.
