Sooo.... do you have any cool recipes to share with what to do with your left over eggs? Anyone do a fudge, or a fondue? How about easter egg biscuits??? I'm looking because we've already been given 3 eggs and I was trying to figure out what else we could do with them. (I'm still off dairy so I can't eat them.... bummer.... DH did buy me a 70% cocoa one though so I can pretend)
Oh Christy :(
I dont eat any dairy apart from chocolate. Its the only thing that doesnt make me sick thank goodness!
Left overs? Sorry I can't be of any help because I have never had any. Maybe crush them and sprinke on ice cream.
oh yeah! Buy a big tub of plain icecream-- let it melt a bit and stir all the bits in-- then freeze!
we never have leftovers :(
Since I was little we'd each eat one or two of our eggs, but the rest would getbroken up into btits an go in a bowl on the kitchen table for all and sundry to share.
What leftovers? ;)
I posted this one the other day - Easter Egg Caramel Slice. Very yummy :D
We ALWAYS have leftovers... in fact we have some from last year ;) We end up throwing out most of our easter chocolate... so this year I might try and bake with it!
*hugs*

Leftovers ?????
DH sometimes has leftovers as he's not much of a chocoholic ... but if he leaves them too long I consider them up for grabs ;)
Why don't you take them down to your local shelter or soup kitchen? (from an ardent believer in re-gifting)!
ah Marydean we already bought a bunch for the emergency workers in our community. Every year we go around & hand them out to ambo's and police who are working on Easter Sunday.... but not a bad idea ;) My birthday is the next week so maybe I'll make my own Easter Egg Caramel Slice yum!!!
I had another thought..... With big eggs in the past I've made chocolate sauce for ice cream & also used them to make the topping for Aaron's birthday cake in May!
We never have leftovers (cos I'm such a chocoholic!) but last year my Mum used hers to make chocolate sauce for ice cream and waffles! She put in crushed honeycomb too, it was yummo!
No leftovers here either!!!!
There are NEVER any left overs here unless they are the cheap and nasty kind and even they wouldn't be worthy of a recipe.
cailin...can i please come over????
Leftovers? ROFL
You could leave them outside your street and then sit inside and watch to see what people grab them for some fun. Adults lurking to see if they are TV or kids really excited about easter bunny!
heheheh - i'm with cailin - i had to throw out the few easter eggs that ended up in the fridge here cos they were out of date!! i'm allergic to one of the preservatives in easter eggs (well, i was when i was a kid) - so very rarely have easter egg choccies in the house. Easter Bunny is really good to me - he buys REAL blocks of chocolate and other little presents.... i'm guessing by the time we come home from mum's place from friday lunch, there will be about half a dozen decent sized blocks of chocolate going into the fridge..... and that will be our supply for the next 6 months or so!
I'm going to Cailins. Definitely. After I visit Tracey at work...
LOL you guys are a cack! I have more chocolate in this house than I know how to eat... the other day I cleaned out my chocolate and found a stash of orange lindt in a 3 pack that was nearly a year past its due date... it went in the bin... I'm an absolute shocker. If its in the house I don't want it its not until its *not* in the house that I want it LOL
*hugs*

Divvy, I'll pick you up on the way!! :D
left overs?????
You could break and sprinkle on ice cream, or make a choc cake and crumble them, and use them to decorate the cake.
Or, depending on size - and sweet tooth factor - you could break them in half, and put some marshmellows and stuff in side, sorta like rocky road. - drizzle with choc. And then wrap in celephane - can give away to all the choc lovers on BB.
One thing we do is melt down excess chocolate in milk, over the stove, and have hot chocolate max brenner style :D Goes down a treat... its one of my favourite late night sins!
*hugs*

max brenner ............ drooool my friends took me and dh to a max brenner rest in sydney last year. OMG - unbelievable
*bump*
Anyone?
Crush and use in place of choc chip cookies, muffins, use in place of lindt chocolate in the waffle pudding I bumped yesterday, use inside croissants for choc croissants. Crush and store in air tight container to use for decorating cakes/cupcakes etc.
Will think of more...
I'm thinking of just searching through the recipes forum for anything chocolatey! It's cold & yuck here today so we're having a cooking day to warm the house up LOL.
you can send any left overs to me! ;)
The only thing to remember is Easter chocolate (depending on the brand) can sometimes be sweeter (so I have found) than other chocolates, so be sure that the recipe suits iykwim?
I just crush them all up and put them in a jar and use the bits as choc chips or melt it and use it in any recipes that call for chocolate! We always have stacks of leftovers. It works to melt it and use it on top of slices or as a grenache icing, too.
We ended up making Lucy's brownies from another thread, it was supposed to be dark choc but we did it with themilk choc eggs & it's soooo yummy. I imagine though they'd be better with dark choc though.
