These Coconut Easter Eggs remind me of a bounty bar! So if you are a coconut lover like me these are for you! I also love the combination of dark chocolate in this recipe. The bitter and sweet tastes in these chocolate eggs are perfect!

TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
- I used sweetened coconut for this recipe to offset the bitter 70% dark chocolate that I used in this recipe. If you are using sweeter chocolate, I suggest using unsweetened coconut
- If you do not have maple syrup available you can also use honey
- I drizzled some butterscotch ganache on top of these easter eggs for flavour and to give them colour

- After the 3 hours, melt your chocolate chips in a bowl
