It's the last day of term next Friday here in SA, so that means it's the last day of playgroup today. That means, instead of the usual healthy morning tea of fruit for the kids, we take party food.
Popcorn has always been my easy take along party snack, but I don't have any in the pantry. What I do have in the fridge is a temptation that for the last few days has spelt disaster for my waistline. Leftover Easter eggs.

I had no intention of using them, besides stuffing my face, if only I don't take that first piece.....but I went looking through my book and I found this little recipe from Jakes school days.
I did have some choc chips but not enough, so I used some easter eggs. I just hope the other parents forgive me for chocolate loading their kids, as if they haven't had enough this week.
I made some cupcakes as well and popped the coconut rough on top. It's like double prizes at the show! What is even better, the chocolate is walking out of my house on a tray and not in my belly!
They look great! I bet they taste fantastic too!
ReplyDeleteThey tasted too good, I ate a few leftovers after I made the cupcakes. Woops :)
Deletedouble prizes yeah! wish we went to your playgroup!
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit funny watching the kids with a big glob of chocolate, wanting to get it down to get to the icing on the cake :)
DeleteThey look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe kids at playgroup liked the look of them too :)
DeleteYummy. Now I feel like chocolate. :-)
ReplyDeleteYum! I have some leftover Easter chocolate left and hubs loves coconut, I might give this a go :)
ReplyDeleteYou have just taken me back to childhood memories of eating coconut rough. YUM
