Foodie Quine - MALT-EASTER TRAY BAKE - Use up leftover Easter Egg Chocolate with Mini Eggs & Maltesers


The Easter bunny has been and the house is full of chocolate. Sound familiar? Believe it or not sometimes there can actually be such a thing as too much chocolate. Easter Eggs, bars and buttons can all be melted down and used in baking if you and your kids have been flooded with treats and simply can't face unwrapping and devouring another egg in its current form. According to Love Food Hate Waste, 30,000 tonnes of chocolate and sweets are thrown away in the UK every single year. Don't let your eggs become part of that statistic! With the kids now on their Easter holidays either of these no bake cakes would be ideal for them to help make when the "I'm bored" whining starts. The recipes are so good they're worth worth buying more Chocolate for if you've eaten it all!

  4. YUM. I make a type of Tiffin which I keep meaning to share on the blog and I haven't made it in forever so this the urge I needed to do it. Plus I have SO much leftover chocolate. My youngest is dairy free and lots of family forgot this. X

    1. It always seems to happen at Christmas and Easter when you just get to the point that you can't face any more Chocolate. Bakes are the win win solution.

  9. No sure I understand the idea of leftover Easter chocolate, it;s not something that happens in out house!

    These look delicious. I love the sound of some of the other recipes you've linked to at the end too so I'm going to have to go and take a peek at a few of those too.

    Thanks for joining #FoodYearLinkup x

    1. We had so many eggs in this house that some of them just had to be re-purposed. However the concept of leftover wine is another matter entirely...
