Five ways to eat an Easter egg as a Warwick student that aren’t boring: A guide

I don’t know why all chocolate seems to taste better in egg form but it is truly a phenomena to be studied. After all, who doesn’t love chocolate? Much as I do love devouring an entire Easter egg in one sitting, sometimes it can be fun to try something different, so here are five alternate ways to eat an Easter egg this spring!

1. Make a fancy hot chocolate

This is a great option to make sure you enjoy your easter eggs and have a warm drink as the sun cannot seem to make its mind up at the moment and Easter could be cold. Either melt them down and use the chocolate instead of powder or break the egg up and use on top or on the side as a fun garnish.

2. Melt them down

If you love a chocolate fountain then this is the one for you. You can melt half and eat the rest or melt it all and dip marshmallows, pretzels, strawberries, whatever you fancy into your molten egg. It can also be great at Easter brunches or parties or if you’re feeling fancy with your flatmates.

3. Bake something easter themed with them

A fave of mine are cornflake cakes or Rice Krispie treats. Yes, you may have enjoyed them when you were five but that is because they taste good and are so easy to make. Plus you will no doubt have everything in your student kitchen to make them and if you don’t they are a low budget spring snack or dessert.

4. Fill half with cream or yoghurt

This option can take the humble Easter egg to a full blown showstopper. Split them open and fill half with yoghurt, ice cream, cream or really whatever you have available to you and top it with fruit (if you’re trying to make it slightly more healthy), sauce, nuts or even more chocolate. An egg-cellent option if you ask me.

5. Cheesecake Easter eggs

Similar to the above option but slightly more involved. Crush biscuits and melted butter, add them to the egg and let it cool. Then add the cheesecake topping, mini eggs and voila: The Easter egg of dreams. They’re a great treat to pass the time you should be spending revising or if you’re ignoring the ever present mountain of work then they are definitely a sweet distraction.
