All hail the Mini Egg. Easter Bunny KNOWS this is the egg of choice for many adults (namely myself). Got a bag of mini Easter eggs in your pantry – here’s 13 mouth watering recipes to show them off in all their glory!
Why is the mini Easter egg a fave, you ask? For one, it gets top marks for sharing – one bag can be dolled out to many pleading hands.
It’s great for discreet snacking, from pocket to mouth in one swoop (please, no judging). And when your pantry contains Mini Eggs, there’s NOTHING YOU CAN’T DO to create an Easter themed ANYTHING. So here it is, a celebration of the mini Easter egg.
