Looking for leftover Easter egg recipes? You've come to the right place! Use up those leftover mini eggs and chocolate to make my Easter Fridge Cakes. No bake recipes for Easter treats that are quick, easy and fun to make and can be easily adapted. White chocolate bark with marshmallows, mini eggs and sprinkles and a Malt Easter (Malteaser) tray bake. Rocky road, tiffin, bark or fridge cake - they're all no bake cakes.
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!
MALT-EASTER TRAY BAKE
100g Margarine
3 Tbsp Golden Syrup
200g Digestive Biscuits
120g Maltesers (1 box)
200g Mini or Micro Eggs
300g Milk Chocolate
Melt the margarine and syrup in a saucepan and remove from the heat.
Put the digestives, maltesers and 100g of the mini eggs in a sealed bag and bash with a rolling pin. (If you are using Micro Eggs keep them whole)
Mix the bashed ingredients into the melted ones.
Spoon into a greased/lined 34cm x 20 cm tray bake tin and flatten.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave or over a bain marie and pour over the top of the biscuit mix.
Bash the remaining 100g of Mini/Micro Eggs and sprinkle on top of the chocolate.
Refrigerate until set then cut into chunks.
WHITE CHOCOLATE EASTER BARK
300g White Chocolate
200g Mini or Micro Eggs
170g Mini Marshmallows
Hundreds & Thousands
Melt chocolate in the microwave or over a bain marie, allow to cool slightly before you mix through marshmallows and bashed mini, or whole micro eggs.
Spread in a greased/lined 34cm x 20 cm traybake tin.
Sprinkle with hundreds & thousands.
Refrigerate until set.
Cut into slices as large as your mouth allows

Great ideas for using up leftovers, shame I don't have any or I would try this
ReplyDeleteThese are so good its worth buying more Chocolate to make them.
DeleteThat's a crazy statistic of the amount of food that's wasted every year! Love the malt-easter tray bake recipe!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just? I can't actually imagine throwing chocolate or sweets away but it clearly does happen.
DeleteGreat idea! I love a good fridge cake! Thanks for linking to my quinoa choc bars too :)
ReplyDeleteCan't beat a fridge cake sometimes. Great for bake sales too. Your quinoa bars have intrigued me, going to have to give them a try.
DeleteYUM. 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
ReplyDeleteThere is still a LOT of Chocolate here. Look forward to seeing your Tiffin recipe.
DeleteFab ways to use up all those Easter eggs or buy them cheap after Easter to make! Thanks for linking to my Easter Granola Cakes:-)
ReplyDeleteOooh that could be a #CreditCrumchMunch entry with reduced to clear chocolate. Love the idea of using Granola in a Chocolate Krispy Cake.
DeleteThis is the sort of recipe that I cant help but go make like right now...
ReplyDeleteApologies if I've led you astray!
DeleteThey look so Tasty! I bet they all finished it! Thanks for sharing my hidden egg truffles.
ReplyDeleteYour hidden egg truffles are genius! I'm definitely making them next Easter.
DeleteI love using leftover chocolate in bakes. This looks lovely x #FoodieFriday
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
DeleteNo sure I understand the idea of leftover Easter chocolate, it;s not something that happens in out house!
ReplyDeleteThese 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
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...
DeleteWhat a great idea for using up leftover chocolate! Thanks for entering into Treat Petite.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting #TreatPetite lots of great entries this month as always
DeletePinning this for Easter it looks fab! So quick and easy :)
ReplyDeleteNo need to wait - there are mini eggs in the shops already!
DeleteCan't believe so much chocolate gets wasted every year - what a travesty! I think I may have a little cry now... Love your ideas for making the most of leftover chocolate...not that that ever happens in our house, mind!! Eb x
ReplyDeleteChocolate is definitely not the first thing that springs to mind when you think about food waste!
