Creme Egg Milkshakes

Easter is right around the corner, and the iconic Cadburys Creme Egg is popping up in recipes all over the place and this blog is not one to buck the trend.  There's nothing I won't do for a creme egg, they're my absolute favorite Easter treat.  In fact, instead of an Easter egg I usually recieve a Costco-sized box of creme eggs to munch my way through.  I'd love to tell you they last longer than a week, but they rarely do.

These Creme Egg milkshakes are a super fun way to serve up my favorite Easter treat, and boy are they a piece of cake to make. Just throw everything in a blender, whiz it up and prepare to get messy.

I used Nutella to glue the mini eggs to the rim of my glass, but I'm sure melted chocolate will work just as well.  You don't have to go all out on the presentation, but look how fun they look!  When you're making milkshakes from Creme Eggs you may aswell go all the way.  Chocolate overload!

Creme Egg Slutty Brownies

You know late at night when you're thinking about all the naughty food you really shouldn't eat, but really want? I do that a lot, like a lot a lot! This is where the filthy things you dare not speak of happen, like when you put a microwavable lasagna in a bread bun or when you run out of crackers so just dip your cheese in butter.  Don't look at me like that, you're just like me and you know it!

This is where these mucky little buggers came from, that sordid little place ruled by my own greed and childlike glee.  I was thinking of those creme scotch eggs that have recently taken the internet by storm and I got to wondering what else could be improved by ramming it with a creme egg.  Slutty brownies of course, as if we could make them any naughtier!!

 Que a lot of Vic and Bob style thigh rubbing. The phrase food porn has never felt so apt, I mean look at that. If those delightful little blighters don't make you feel all weak at the knees then I just don't think we can be friends.
