Annoyed with the pile of Easter Egg boxes and fighting with the kids over how many they can eat in a day? Take out the stress with these easy recipes and turn those chocolate treats into milkshakes, fudge, dips and more!
Get Dipping!
Who doesn’t love fruit dipped in yummy chocolate? There are all kinds of different things you can use to dip: strawberries, chopped bananas, marshmallows, skewers (try a mix of fruit and marshmallows). Once dipped, you can add toppings too, such as sprinkles or chopped nuts. Melt down the Easter Eggs and stir in some cream (although just plain melted chocolate is delicious).
Chocolate Bark
This is a great one for using up Easter sweets too. Simply melt down the chocolate and spread in a thin layer onto a cookie sheet spread with parchment paper. Sprinkle with sweets (Mini Eggs, Smarties or just sprinkles from the baking cupboard) and chill. Once set, break up into pieces and enjoy! If you have different kinds of chocolate eggs, you could make it two layer, or drizzle the second type over the top.
Crispy Buns
An oldie but goodie. Melt the Easter Eggs, mix with Rice Krispies or Cornflakes, spoon into bun cases and chill. Add your favourite toppings and enjoy!
Chocolate Fudge
Fudge is easy to bake with children and super delicious to eat. You can also add topping such as chopped nuts, sweets, edible glitter, sprinkles – anything that takes your fancy.
This recipe from Carnation is an easy one:
Easter Egg Milkshakes
You’ll need:
Easter Egg Brownies
Make your favourite brownie recipe, but substitute the chocolate for the same amount of Easter Egg. Our favourite is Jamie Oliver’s recipe.
Truffles
A good one for children who like to get their hands into the mixture. Hard to resist popping one into your mouth every time you open the fridge though!
