Easter Baking 🐣🍫
Hi guys 👋🏻
I love an excuse to bake and Easter is the perfect one.
Also, I can now eat chocolate again as I gave it up on the 8th of Jan until Good Friday! Horray.
So, here are two Easter bakes that I have made this Easter weekend.
They are super easy, relatively quick and even child friendly.
Let’s take a look!
Chocolate Easter Nests
I surely don’t even need to include a recipe for this Easter classic!?!
This Easter season special is great to do with kids and one of my favourite ‘cakes’ whenever I seem them on sale.
I had to use shredded wheat this time as we already had it in the cupboard but my preference is cornflakes, and of course I used Cadbury chocolate and mini eggs.
Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies
These brownies came out super gooey and were so delicious, especially warm!
I had this ‘Brownie in a jar’ mix from Christmas, that I hadn’t used yet and all you needed to do was add 125g of butter and 2 eggs (whisked together first). Super easy!
I then cut the creme eggs in half and pushed them into the batter, fondant side up.
A brownie recipe that I use alot is a BBC Good Good one, I’ll leave a link here .
What is your favourite Easter bake?
Let me know if you have a go at these.
Have a great Easter Weekend.
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
Our Easter bakes 🍫
DIY Easter baskets for kids 🐣🍫
Last year, as my nephews were a bit older, I decided to make them Easter baskets as a little treat, for Easter Sunday.
This year my niece is a bit older too and will be able to appreciate one as well as the boys, so I have decided to do them again.
I’ve been to a few different shops in order to get the little bits and bob’s for the baskets. I’ll list everything that I bought & the prices (if I can remember haha)
I like to make them personal to each child and get a mixture of chocolate and crafty/fun bits to make them more exciting and fun!
You will see from the pictures that I have popped some ‘non Easter’ food items into my nieces basket. She isn’t a massive chocolate fan (I don’t get it either!!) So I have got her a selection pack of some of her favourite oaty Goodies Bars.
This is a great way to make a basket for a much younger child, especially under 2’s who probably won’t have/need loads of chocolate.
Buckets, Asda £1.50
Luckily for me there were three different colours!
The top two baskets are for my nephews who are aged (almost) 3 & 4.
The bottom basket is for my niece who is (almost) 2.
Cadbury Boxless eggs (with buttons inside)
Plain Cadbury boxless egg, Tesco £1
Cadbury Disney egg heads, Tesco £1
Chick marshmallows, Asda large pack £3
They also did white bunny marshmallows too, for the same price.
Milk chocolate bunnies, Tesco 2 for £1.50
Milk chocolate lollies, Tesco 2 for £1.50
Chick gingerbread kits, Tesco from £1
I also picked up these little gingerbread chick kits.
If you had a bigger basket, hamper or if you just want another little activity to do with the kids then these are really fun and super easy to do. You get some tubes of icing and little packs of hundreds and thousands to decorate your chicks, in the pack and I can guarantee the kids will love them.
The non chocolate/edible items.
Easter activity books, Tesco £1
These have got stickers, colouring & arts and crafts activities inside them so they are great for adding a bit of Easter craft fun to the weekend and will certainly keep them occupied.
Large Easter bubble wands, Tesco £1 (or £1.50, I cant quite remember!)
Easter T-Shirt, Tesco F&F £6
They had a great selection of Easter themed clothing bits in Tesco, for both boys & girls and they were very cute!
Again, this is a great option for a younger child who may not be able to enjoy the arts & craft bits of the other baskets.
