Easter Chocolate Treats To Add Sweetness To Your Easter Holidays
No Easter celebration is complete without Easter Chocolate sweets. From Easter eggs to bunnies to even Easter chocolate bark, there are a range of ways in which you can incorporate chocolate into your dessert table. Have a crack at these Easter chocolate desserts for the perfect sweet snack.
Sprinkle Filled Chocolate Easter Eggs
Our Sprinkle-filled Easter Eggs are a fun twist on the classic chocolate egg that we associate with Easter. This three-step recipe is particularly easy to follow along. All you need to do is melt your chocolate into egg-shaped moulds, allowing it to chill. Then take your new chocolate eggs out of their mould, fill one side of the mould with your sprinkles and seal the other side of the empty eggshell with the remainder of your melted chocolate. Allow your creations to chill until set, and in approximately 5 minutes you'll have fun-filled eggs ready for you and your friends to enjoy!
Oreo Easter Bark
For a chocolate treat that's fun to make and even more fun to serve, try our Oreo Easter Bark. Although it's not your typical Easter chocolate dessert of bunnies and eggs, it still brings that playful flair Easter is known for. Melting white chocolate to form the base of your bark, you can add the additional decorations of chopped Oreos, sugar pearls and mini eggs made from chocolate egg moulds. Once set, chop your chocolate bark into various sizes, perfect for your dessert table or party favour bags!
Jumbo Filled Easter Egg
If you know a chocoholic you want to impress, create our amazing Jumbo-Filled Easter Egg Project to blow them away! A delicious project for any chocolatier, this dessert involves crafting one jumbo easter egg to use as a bowl for smaller chocolate creations.
