How To Use Your Leftover Easter Eggs

Got a little more chocolate than you bargained for? You’ve already overdosed on chocolate, loosened your belt and put yourself into a sugar coma, so you can’t bear to look at those eggs any longer.

Here, Michelin starred Bohemia Restaurant has shared with IDEAL some top tips on how to use your leftover Easter eggs – not suitable for the calorie-shy, sure, but absolutely delicious!

Rocky Road

Kids love rocky road! It’s a delightful, ever so sweet indulgence that combines creamy, crunchy, squishy, and satisfying textures.

For an easy no bake recipe for the children, try Easter themed rocky road. Mix the melted leftover chocolate with mini marshmallows, digestive biscuits, dried fruit or mini chocolate eggs then place in the fridge to set for 3 hours. Once it is set, dust with icing sugar.
