Melt your butter, milk chocolate and mini marshmallows in a pan over a medium heat until smooth. Then, in a large mixing bowl add your Rice Krispies, Mini Eggs (some chopped, some whole) and your chocolate and marshmallow mix. Keep mixing really well until it’s fully combined with your Rice Krispies. Pat it down into a 20cm lined baking tin. Set aside. Melt 220g milk chocolate over a bain-marie. Once fully melted, drizzle over the rice krispie mix evenly and sprinkle with more mini eggs. Pop it in the fridge until it’s completely set, cut into portions and you’re good to serve. And dribble.

Line a loaf tin with baking paper, pour in your mixture and top with more Cadbury Mini Creme Eggs. Pop it in the fridge overnight, slice it up and congratulate yourself on your 2 minute wonder.

Meanwhile, get the buttercream ready by beating the butter. Add in the icing sugar and milk and mix it well until it has a whipped and fluffy consistency.

When you’re done, run the back of a spoon over the top to blend it in then sprinkle over your Mini Eggs. Slice into portions et voilà! Happy Easter, indeed.
