Creme Egg Scotch Eggs for Easter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ready for the ultimate Easter chocolate treat? Here they are: creme egg scotch eggs \u2013 and they\u2019re really easy to make!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most decadent, but also simplest, chocolate Easter treats out there. Cadburys creme eggs are covered in a truffley, cake-pop style mixture of brownie crumbs and buttercream, and then rolled in chocolate sprinkles to make a chocolate Scotch egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(If you don\u2019t know what a Scotch egg is, it\u2019s a British snack involving hardboiled eggs and sausage meat. But trust me, you\u2019re better off just pretending they don\u2019t exist and concentrating on this chocolate version.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate creme egg Scotch eggs are basically a completely genius invention. I don\u2019t know who first came up with the idea, but pictures of these have been doing the rounds on social media for a least of couple of Easters now, and I could resist no longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year was my first attempt at creme egg scotch eggs, and here\u2019s my take on the recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Cadbury Creme Egg Scotch Eggs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of this recipe is that you can either make the brownies and buttercream yourself, or you can buy both of these ready-made and be making treats in no time. It is a holiday weekend, after all, so be easy on yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also choose to use either full-size or mini creme eggs, depending on what you have (or how chocolatey you\u2019re feeling). I actually prefer the mini-sized ones, as the finished product ends up about the same size as a regular creme egg, so is easy to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use ready-made brownies, this also becomes a completely no-bake recipe and so is perfect if the kids are keen to make some treats by themselves for Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Buttercream for Creme Egg Scotch Eggs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A note on the buttercream in the recipe.<\/strong> If you\u2019re using really fudgy brownies, you might not even need buttercream, as the brownie crumbs will probably be sticky enough to mould round the eggs on their own. If your brownies are cakier in texture, you\u2019ll need to mix in buttercream to get the right sort of consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, if you want you can use chocolate buttercream, but I just used plain as I didn\u2019t feel the recipe needed the addition of a fourth chocolate element, lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The measurements given here are approximate, as the amount you’ll need will depend on the consistency of your brownies and how thick you would like to make your cake layer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
