What is it about those fondant-filled, irresistibly sweet, chocolate-covered Creme Eggs that makes them such a good addition to other foods?  

Sure, we love scoffing one (or two, or three) on its own, or adding them to an already yummy dessert to make it even better, but Creme Eggs also work pretty darn well when sandwiched in between two slices of bread or reimagined as a Scotch egg. 

That’s right, Cadbury’s legendary eggs might be one of the most sugar-laden treats you’ll ever get your mitts on, but curiously, this seems to make them the perfect filling for a toastie. Who knew?

We’re not only interested in giving new meaning to some of our favourite savoury foods, though. In our quest to find the best Creme Egg recipes around, we’ve also tried out some old faithful desserts with a fondant-y twist to make a Creme Egg Rockie Road and a microwavable mug cake. Easy to make and super delicious, what’s not to love?

So if you fancy flexing your creative cooking skills, get yourself to the kitchen and bring our mouth-watering collection of Creme Egg recipes with you. To make it even easier, we’ve tried and tested every recipe (it’s a hard job but someone’s got to do it) and videoed each method to help you step by step. Because, why would you want to try your hand at just one Creme Egg recipe, when you could try out four? To really get your chocolatey fix, stock up on these little orbs of joy and give them all a go.
