28 Cadbury Egg Recipes That Give Your Favorite Easter Candy a Whole New Life
Mini and cream-filled chocolate eggs really shine in these festive desserts.
Sweets — baked goods, chocolate eggs, and festive candies — come out in full force on Easter Sunday. Marshmallow Peeps and jelly beans may be Easter basket staples, but Cadbury eggs — either the cream-filled or mini version — are the true standouts of the season. With a smooth, creamy filling housed in a crisp, chocolate shell, these chocolates are one of the most popular Easter candies on the market. They're delicious on their own (especially when enjoyed by the handful), but they really come to life when they're stuffed inside a brownie, melted on a cookie, or crushed in a milkshake.
Convinced? Take a look at these easy Cadbury egg recipes to find out all the different ways you can transform these chocolate candies into Easter desserts that your entire family will love. Some of these Easter-appropriate treats use Cadbury eggs as a cake topper or finishing touch, while others incorporate them right into the cookie, cupcake, or brownie mix. As you bake these sweets, it'll be hard to resist sneaking a few chocolate eggs, so make sure you pick up a few extra bags before you get to work!
