Happy Easter!!!! ย What is your favorite Easter candy? ย I love Cadbury Eggs.ย ย They are perhaps my absolute favorite candy ever.ย ย Not just my favorite Easter candy, but my favorite candy of all time.ย ย This year I gave up chocolate for Lent.ย ย I had one Cadbury egg before Lent and haven’t had one since.ย But, seeing as today is Easter, I know my mom will be giving me plenty!
Growing up I always got several Cadbury eggs for Easter.ย My parents would stock up on them after Easter and for the next 3 or 4 months they would give me one whenever I did something well.ย I might get one for getting an A+ on a paper or for helping my parents do some things around the house.ย ย It was a sure fire way to get me to do something because I couldn’t buy them anywhere and I knew my parents had some.
I love that they now sell the mini Cadbury eggs.ย They are so cute, have way less calories, and I like to enjoy one as a snack.ย I also love baking with them.ย ย If you have any left over after Easter I have a fabulous snack idea using the mini Cadbury eggs.ย I actually made these last week for the staff at school and they enjoyed them.
What are they?ย Cadbury Egg Stuffed Croissants.ย ย These are awesome.ย ย You’ve got the buttery, golden brown croissants on the outside with melted Cadbury egg goodness on the inside.ย ย I sprinkled the croissants with two different toppings.ย One was a sweet cinnamon and sugar mixture perfect for the kids and the other was a sweet espresso topping perfect for adults.ย ย Choose whichever one you want or make some of each!
Cadbury Egg Stuffed Croissants
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls 8 count
- 12 Cadbury mini creme eggs
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted
- 3 Tablespoons sugar divided in half
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Separate the crescent rolls.
- Place a mini creme egg at the wide end of a crescent roll and roll up, pinching the edges so the chocolate doesn't leak out.
- If you'd like, you can cut some of the crescent rolls in half (I did this with 4 of them) and simply roll the dough around the creme egg and pinch the ends shut.
- Place on a baking sheet. Brush with melted butter.
- In a small bowl combine half the sugar with the cinnamon. In another small bowl combine half the sugar with the espresso powder.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on half the croissants and the espresso mixture on the other half of the croissants.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool 3-5 minutes before eating.
You got me hooked here! Cadbury eggs are my fave Easter candy!!
I think I’m one of the few people who don’t like Cadbury Eggs. But, I love this idea – it could be done with any leftover candy!
Oh my!! My kids would go bananas over these croissants!! Cream eggs are a favorite in this house! ๐
Love how simple this recipe is, but also genius at the same time. Yum!
My kids want these!!! Who doesn’t love crescent rolls and chocolate???? YUM!
Okay, so I was feeling slightly bad that I hadn’t tried Cadbury eggs before– but now I know I absolutely need to! These stuffed croissants sound absolutely divine, and I can’t wait to pass this recipe on to folks who really do have Easter candy waiting around for them. Great share!
Yummm! I don’t think I would be able to give up chocolate. It’s in my blood and I need to take it daily ๐ But chocolate croissants? Yes please ๐
