Start by making the peanut butter filling with 1 tablespoon of confectionary sugar and 1.5 tablespoons of peanut butter.

If using natural peanut butter, you may need to add more confectionary sugar to thicken it up.

Crush some peanuts by placing them in a tea towel and smashing them with a rolling pin, then set aside.

Create a makeshift double boiler by filling a saucepan with water and placing a bowl on top to melt the dark chocolate gently.

Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from heat and add a handful of additional chocolate to temper it for a smooth finish.

Use a spoon to smear the melted chocolate around the silicone egg molds to coat them, rather than filling them completely.

Refrigerate the molds to set the chocolate before adding the filling.

Prepare the filling by adding a pinch of pink Himalayan salt to the peanut butter mixture and filling the molds with the peanut butter filling.

Top the filling with melted chocolate and sprinkle with more pink Himalayan salt.

Refrigerate the molds again to set the chocolate completely before removing the eggs from the molds.
