So the Easter egg hunt is over and there’s a basket of foil-covered treats lingering in the fridge. Sure, you can nibble your way through the leftover Easter eggs for the next few weeks (no judgement here!), or you could put your stand mixer on notice and break out the air fryer and pie maker to whip up some egg-cellent chocolate treats!
Think air fryer Easter eggs (mini chocolate eggs wrapped in pastry) and microwave chocolate mug cake, just for starters. Mmm, Is your mouth watering?
Whether you are looking for a crowd-pleasing pudding, a quick weeknight dessert or a lunchbox treat, read on for scrumptious ways to use those leftover Easter eggs.
But first…
Yep, sure can! Make melting Easter chocolate easy with a next-gen microwave that has specific Melt and Soften settings, or use a double boiler on the cooktop. Don’t have a double boiler? Don’t stress: boil the kettle, fill a bowl with hot water and balance a separate bowl with chocolate chunks over the top, and stir occasionally to melt.

You can substitute Easter egg chocolate for its matching variety (white, milk or dark) in a recipe, but not for baking chips, which have stabilisers that help keep the chip shape when heated. Keep in mind that white chocolate melts faster than milk and dark chocolate respectively.
“When doing any kind of baking, it’s important to remember that a reliable oven with an even heat is the key to a perfect result,” says Tania Grillinzoni, The Good Guys Buyer – Cooking and Dishwashers. “Electric ovens, in particular, are known for their accurate temperature settings, while gas ovens help cakes and puddings stay moist.”
That said, upgrading to a steam oven could offer any passionate baker the best of both worlds. The moist heat, created when water evaporates to steam in the hot oven, gives you not only luscious, light cake centres but also crispier crusts.

Our friends at Sunbeam know the secret to a delicious fudge! This Sunbeam recipe is best made with the Sunbeam White Planetary Heat Soft Mixmaster, which lets you melt and mix in the same bowl. The stand mixer’s heat setting warms the bowl to soften ingredients like butter or, in this case, to melt the chocolate.
Hot Tip: Watch the melting time – hollow eggs will melt faster than solid ones.
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 2 hours, chilling only
Serves: 40
Ingredients
500g dark chocolate buttons
395g tin of condensed milk
Method
1. Place ingredients in the Sunbeam Mixmaster Heat Soft Planetary Mixer. Add the scraper beater and splash guard.
2. Turn the mixer on, select MELT, then mix on low speed, gradually increasing the speed to break up the chocolate.
3. While the chocolate is melting, line a square baking tin with baking paper.
4. Melt for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture is thick and glossy.
5. Pour the fudge mixture into the baking tin and place in the fridge for 2 hours or until set. Cut into squares to serve.
A perfect single-serve dessert – ideal for sneaking a few Easter eggs from the kids’ baskets – this Mug Cake recipe is from the team at Bosch.

3 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp cacao powder
1 egg
2 tbsp (40ml) milk
3 tbsp (60ml) vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp choc chips
Cream, to serve
1. Place the flour, sugar and cocoa in a large (1.5-cup capacity) microwave-safe mug.
2. Add the egg, milk, oil and vanilla and stir well with a fork.
3. Sprinkle over the choc chips.
4. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on High for 1 1/2 minutes or until cooked through.
5. Remove from the microwave and sit for 30 seconds.
6. Serve with a dollop of cream.
Is there anything an air fryer can’t do? These sweet puffs from our friends at Nutribullet make fast work of any leftover choccy eggs. Get serious kudos from the kids by serving the triangles with homemade ice cream (which is supereasy to churn out!)
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Makes: 16
1 sheet puff pastry
1 egg, lightly whisked
16 Cadbury Dairy Milk Solid Easter Eggs
1. Cut the pastry into 16 squares, roughly 5x5cm each.
2. Place an Easter egg in the centre of each square and fold the squares in half diagonally, into small triangles. Press the edges closed with a fork.
3. Place 8 triangles into your NutriBullet XXL Digital Air Fryer, ensuring even space between triangles. Brush each triangle with the egg mixture.
4. Set the air fryer to 180°C and cook for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 with remaining triangles.
The TikTok chocolate craze you can’t live without! Make a small hole in the base of a hollow easter egg and fill it with your favourite hot-chocolate additions: cocoa, sugar, Milo, mini marshmallows or even other Easter eggs! Seal it up with a little melted chocolate and freeze. Drop it into a cup of steaming milk – it’s ‘da bomb’!
Use your Sunbeam Pie Maker 4 Cup with sweet pastry sheets for gooey pies filled with chopped Easter chocolate. Pair with vanilla ice cream for a drool-worthy dessert.
Waste not, want not – rather than stash away your leftover Easter eggs forever, use them for a different chocolate fix! Put your favourite small appliances to work and make the most of your stand mixers, microwaves and air fryers to create these sensational, chocolatey Easter dessert recipe delights. See us in-store or online for the best appliances to level up your baking.
