I’m always thinking about different ways I can use them in my sweet treats. This year I have created so many new recipes using them which you can find in my Easter recipe section.

The UK spends over £299 million on Easter egg chocolate each year. It is my belief that a lot of that spending is on Mini Eggs. If given the choice I would definitely pick mini eggs recipes over creme egg recipes.
