5 ways to use up leftover Easter treats

Chocolate bark
Melt your leftover bunnies and eggs in a bowl in the microwave, then spread over a silpad or the back of a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. While the chocolate is still ‘wet’, sprinkle over your favourite things like mini marshmallows, crushed nuts and silver balls. Once set, carefully crack off into shards and serve with dessert or as a sweet snack.

Chocolate cake decorations
Use them to decorate a dessert which you can give to friends by stacking leftover eggs and bunnies atop a Woolworths frozen triple chocolate mousse cake for the ultimate end-of-Easter show-stopping dessert.

Hot chocolate
Add one of your many dark Lindor bunnies to a glass of warm milk. Stir the milk with the bunny and watch it slowly disappear into your milk for instant hot chocolate.

Easter chocolate sauce
Add any of your chocolatey eggs into a saucepan over a low heat and melt, then slowly pour in a little bit of cream at a time until the sauce thickens nicely, to make a ganache. You should use about 200 g chocolate and 1 ½ cups cream. Spread over hot cross buns or use as icing for cupcakes or doughnuts.

Easter egg bowls
These are great as a little post-Easter surprise. Carefully cut your hollow easter egg – big or small – in half lengthways using the tip of a warm knife (you could do the same with hollow chocolate bunnies). Whip cream and spoon into the cavity of the chocolates, top with fresh berries and crushed ginger biscuits for a quick and quirky dessert.
