You just melt chocolate (milk, dark, or a mix), spread it onto a parchment-lined tray, and sprinkle crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs all over the top before it sets.

Pop it in the fridge for about 15–20 minutes until firm, then break into pieces, and it’s perfect for snacking or tossing into little Easter treat bags.

2. No-Bake Mini Easter Cheesecakes

These are great when you want something that looks a little more put together without turning on the oven.

3. Strawberry Shortcake Parfaits

If you want something lighter, these come together fast and look really pretty in clear cups or jars.
