Paleo Easter Eggs

" I have to say these are the easiest little things to make, and only takes 20 minutes until they are ready to eat. Paleo Easter Eggs are a tasty little treat with no added sugar, egg free, dairy free, grain free, nut free, gluten free little bundles of joy.

Easter eggs these days seem to go on sale almost as soon as the Christmas decorations get packed away, and I for one was guilty of buying them way too soon, then buying more, and more. This year the Easter Bunny will still call here, but will be bringing the best quality chocolate it could find and just on Easter Sunday, not for the months and months they have been selling in the stores.
