Post-Easter Cooking

Okay, so it might appear to be uber late to start mentioning Easter, but I have good reasoning...

Hopefully, you've all received some delicious Easter eggs to gorge on. But then you're always left with that little bit of extra that you just can't eat or you'll pop. 

What to do? I have an answer.


Cook for yourself & others with it! There are sooo many delightful recipes out there which include chocolate, it would be crazy to ignore them all.

I went for the traditional easter nests you learn to make at Primary school except I added some hazelnuts instead of mini chocolate eggs. (Does that make it healthy? I've persuaded myself it has...)


I've put together a collection of links to recipes which include chocolate & which look scrumptious!

  • Millionaire's shortbread - if you have a sweet tooth, this is for you! This was the clearest recipe I could find, but my grandma will always make them best. My advice: include lots of caramel, mmm.




  • Molten Mug Chocolate Cake - perfect if you're a student or are pressed for time, it's all made in a mug n under 5 minutes - wow.

  1. I love the idea of using hazelnuts instead of mini eggs on those Easter nests, it seems like the grownup version of the ones you make in primary school somehow!

  2. Great post!

    I have way too much chocolate left over from Easter, I was sent a huge hamper filed with chocolate for the ocassion.

    Liking the sound of Molten Mug Chocolate cake purely because it doesn't take long to make, ha!
