Chocolate Creme Egg Cookies

Can you believe I still have creme eggs left? It's crazy! I didn't want to just eat them all in one go so decided I would bake them into cookies. These turned out so good, and were all eaten on the same day! To find out how to make these, keep reading!

Ingredients (makes around 8-10 large cookies)

180g unsalted butter at room temperature.

300g Caster Sugar

250g Plain Flour

2 tsp Baking Powder

1 Egg

50g Cocoa Powder

5 Creme Eggs

Method

Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Then add your egg, and mix well.

Add your dry ingredients and mix until you get a dough like texture. If it is too sticky, add more flour. If it is too dry, add a dash of milk.

Chop up your creme eggs into small pieces. I popped mine in the fridge for a while first so the 'goo' wasn't all sticky.

Mix the creme egg into your cookie mixture.

Roll into balls and pop onto a greased baking tray. Spread these out as they do grow quite large! I think mine were slightly too sticky but that didn't affect the final outcome, it just made my hands a lot messier!

Bake for around 12-15 minutes on 180 degrees C. When these come out of the oven they do not look cooked, they are still gooey. This is perfect. Leave them to cool for around 25 minutes and they will harden on the outside, but remain soft in the middle. So delicious. Enjoy!

Easy Easter Treats – Marshmallow Bark

I saw something similar to this in Sainsbury’s and thought it would be simple enough to make my own version. The only thing about this that reminds me of Easter is the fact it’s chocolate and fun spring colours. This is super easy to make and very cheap too – what more can you want for a fun snack?! I suppose these are quite similar to Rocky Road actually!

Ingredients:

300g White chocolate

Mini Marshmallows

Easter/Coloured sprinkles or any fun decorations!

Melt your chocolate – I did mine in the microwave for a couple of minutes and stirred through to ensure all the chunks had melted completely. Then add your marshmallows and stir them in to coat them in chocolate. Do not over-stir as the marshmallows will melt.

Add your mixture to a dish/pan/whatever you like. Decorate the chocolate with sprinkles of your choice then put the mixture in the freezer to set for 20 minutes.

Once the mixture has set, remove from the freezer and chop up to your liking. You could even use easter themed cookie cutters for this, rabbit shaped ones would look awesome!

Enjoy – and try not to eat them all at once!
