EASTEREASTER YOUR WAY

Waffle-y Delicious

Too many recipes tend to waffle on – combine these, add that, leave that to simmer. Keep your staycation brekky easy but so deliciously good with these Apple & Cinnamon Hot Cross Bun Waffles! Best served with a splash of syrup, some butter and the peace of mind that you have no flour to clean up later.

Paint the Town (at home)

Chances are you have everything you need in your pantry to make rice-dyed Easter eggs. Dyeing eggs with rice is as easy as dropping food colouring on plain rice and giving it a shake. Mix colours for an impressive speckled Easter egg pattern!

An Egg-cellent Tree

Easter eggs aren’t just for hiding! Decorate your campsite with a festive Easter egg tree the kids will love! Simply fill a small bucket with pebbles to weigh it down, then collect some branches you find on the ground to give them new life. Add your colourful egg ornaments to the branches (available at discount and homeware stores) or the kids’ Easter crafts to make your tree the camp centrepiece!

A Sizzling Good Time

Egg-travagant Hunt

If you’re still finding chocolate eggs in October, it’s time to change up the traditional Easter egg hunt! Here are some of our favourites:

• Easter Bunny meets Willy Wonka – use plastic eggs in the hunt, but fill one with a golden ticket and let the winner trade it in for a special prize
• Have the kids search for the eggs in a specific order or for a pattern. Once they nail it, they can collect the ‘big’ prize
• Print some fun directions or instructions to hide in each plastic egg you hide, like ‘hop like a bunny’ or ‘do a somersault’ – this one will get everyone up and moving on Easter Sunday!

Layer Me Up

Finally a layer cake that’ll impress without the stress! Forget the fiddly steps of your typical sponge and give this Choc Hot Cross Bun layer cake a go. It’s beautifully decadent and full of raspberry laced cream. You won’t regret a single bite!

Choc-Tails

Easter eggs aren’t just for scoffing! We think they make the perfect vessel for an indulgent, Easter-inspired choc-tail. A splash of Baileys in a hollow chocolate egg is the perfect boozy dessert for all chocoholics and big kids.
