What can I cook/make with Easter eggs?

I have large boxed Easter eggs, some Lindt bunnies and assorted shaped chocolate - all milk, little bit of white.

We will never manage to eat it all as kids only toddlers. What can I cook with it other than rice crispie cakes? Will choc cake taste of nothing if it's not dark/plain chocolate? Thanks for any suggestions or recipes.

Omg

You don't use Lindt to cook with! Is too good. You only cook with cooking chocolate

If you have to much give it away.

Make a plain sponge cake and let it cool
Melt the chocolate in separate doshes, all milk choc in one, milk in one and any dark
Then let your children drizzle the chocolate on the top with spoons itll look good
Or
Once youve got melted chocolate pour it in to one bowl stir it only once and pour ot on the cake it should look marbled

Hot chocolate! There's an example here but we just use milk and chocolate and it's lovely.

Chocolate is also lovely if you chop it up and stir it into normal banana cake. Yummy.

Aussie crunch? I'm doing that with mine! Melting down the eggs for the chocolate topping.

And to get rid of the white chocolate you could do a marbling type effect like this

Yum yum great ideas, thanks. I esp like the hot choc idea as I've some baileys that I could add. And I think Aussie crunch is on the short list too!

Choc chip cookies, choc brownies, rocky road/tiffin/refrigerator cake, white choc and cornflake cakes. Chocolate bread. Choc topped shortbread. Choc ice cream, choc mousse.

But I'd add some dark choc for flavour, I don't find milk choc intense enough.

Hot chocolate sauce for ice cream. Melt with syrup and butter.

I've made crispy cakes, mint brownies, chocolate covered strawberries and a chocolate orange cheesecake.

It's taken the number of Easter eggs down to something a bit more manageable!

PlinkyPlonker · 22/04/2014 16:35

The choc orange cheesecake sounds nice. Can you make it with milk chocolate though? I'm loath to go buy dark choc when house is overrun with milk chocolate, even though I prefer dark and that's what id usually cook with.

Haha, we had exactly the same problem - The left over Easter bunny helped us make a courgette chocolate loaf - sounds bizarre but it was yummy, moist and healthy - my 3.5yr DD absolutely loved it. Here's the recipe: mydaughterwontsleep.com/gfrecipes/

Oh and here's the photo of it....

I hope you are right caroline I've got it cooking in my oven now. I've just gone to check on it though and it smelt courgettey when I opened the oven door. I'm hoping the smell disappears as DP already mocking my courgette cake!
