    I swear I put on weight just reading the recipe for that... it would be unfortunate if some creme eggs just happened to drop into my trolley when I do the shopping tonight... ;)

    MRSINVISIBLE oh hope DGS gets his pen bless him, your spring baskets sound beautiful, your friends will love them im sure.

  • It was very tasty but very sweet.. you def don't need 200g choc on top.. 100g is too much lol well worth trying though! think i'd smash the cream eggs that go inside up more than half if i made it again. would also smash the ones that go on top up instead of leaving them whole..

    Dh only managed 10oz of the 16oz rump steak i served up for him... was nice seeing his eyes glow when he saw the plate lol (thanks to tescos offer on steaks and i had a few price promises to use up, so got it for a couple of pounds :D )
