Egg-Cellent Eggs

So, my Brother and I got our bake on last night (as you do on a Saturday night). We now have our very own take on an ‘Egg-Cellent Egg’. We have endless easter eggs in our house so we felt it was time to spice things up a little! 

Prepare yourself for our DELISH combo…

OREOS with...

REESE'S peanut butter cups...

covered in yet more chocolate to create the fried egg shape!

These Egg-Cellent Eggs are super easy, cheap and fun to make! So, get your Reese's at the ready and let’s have some OREO fun…

What you need to participate in the fun:

(Definitely purchase the double cream Oreos if you can hunt them down.)

 Step 1: Remove the top biscuit from your OREO.

Step 2: Place on your Reese's peanut butter cup.

Step 3: Take your second Oreo, break the bottom off and place on top of your PB cup.

Step 4: It's the fun part...get dunking!

Step 5: Place on a baking sheet and cover in more chocolate to create your splattered EGG look!

Step 6: Once dry peel them away from the baking sheet (cut where they have stuck together). 

Step 7: There you have it, your Egg-Cellent Egg!

Step 8: Cut open and enjoy (this is one we did without the chocolate fried egg look).

You will have lots of Oreo plain biscuits left (if you haven't munched away on them).

So, get some frosting and don't let these go to waste!

I'm sure they will be equally as yum!

Happy Easter everyone!

Have a lovely day cramming your bellies with chocolate and have fun if you decide to make these cute little Egg-Cellent eggies!

Lots of love,

Peanut Butter & Nutella layer cake

A few weeks ago it was my Grandad’s birthday and I totally forgot to blog about the CAKE that I baked him! His love affair with peanut butter is worse than mine (only just). So can you guess what I baked him? That’s right, a PB cake weighing just short of 2 stone (slight exaggeration). I did have to laugh though when my Grandad said he put on 6lbs the week after his birthday! Oooops, no more cake for him! 

So anyway, this cake was in actual fact, get ready for it... a  nutella and peanut butter layer cake. I was inspired by this blog post: handbagsandcupcakes. I did however make a few alterations. I swapped the chocolate sponge layer for a second nutella layer and I swapped the choc icing for PB icing. Good swapsies? 

So my cake went a little bit like this (from top to bottom)

It’s no surprise really that my Grandad broke his scales!

It certainly did feel like I was feeding the 5,000...

If you would like to bake this cake then HERE are the instructions (just be sure to make your desired swapsies). 

For my version, bake 2 x nutella sponges...

and 1 x peanut butter sponge...

Whip up some peanut butter icing. I should warn you now, this stuff is addictive! To cover the XXL cake I had to double the below ingredients - nothing worse than a stingy amount of icing is there?

Time for the colourful candy to come out to play...

and here you have it...

The two stoner cake was presented to Grandad John with his M&S voucher...

Gramps was a very happy Man and piled on the peanut butter pounds in style! 

My family LOVE PB (as do I) so if you have any recipes which you think I should try, pretty please send them my way!

Lots of Love,
