Recipes to Use up the Easter Chocolate



You might be sitting looking at dozens and getting heart palpitations thinking of how the kids will ever eat them all without getting tooth cavities or violently sick. How about melting it all down and making some fun recipes together?

Rice Krispie Classic

Rice Krispies:
You can’t beat the classic Rice Krispie cake. You just need two ingredients and minimal equipment:
  • Chocolate Easter egg broken into small pieces
  • A box of Rice Krispies (or equivalent brand)
Method:
  1. Put the chocolate pieces into a bowl that is safe to heat.
  2. Half fill a pot with boiled water and put it on a low heat.
  3. Place the bowl of chocolate over and stir continuously until half the chocolate is melted, take it off the heat and continue to stir.
  4. Pour in enough rice krispies and mix until all are covered, add more if there is too much chocolate.
  5. Put spoonfuls of the mix into baking cases and out them in the fridge to cool and harden.

Use the Chocolate Eggs for Dessert

Keep the eggs to use for yummy desserts!
  1. Fill a half egg with a couple of scoops of your child’s favourite ice cream and top with broken up mini bars or sweets that you got with the eggs
  2. Make hot chocolate for the rainy days! Heat up a cup of milk, break up an Easter egg and add it while stirring the milk and watch it melt into the milk. Top with some marshmallows.
  3. Put two scoops of ice cream in a bowl. Break up an Easter egg and put it on a low heat in the microwave or over a bain-marie and melt it slowly. Pour it over the ice cream.
