Scotch Creme Egg

There can’t be a better Easter indulgence than a gooey Cadbury Creme Egg?. It’s far too easy to reach for another one. Here’s something a little different, a chocolate scotch egg. A Cadbury Creme Egg surrounded in chocolate brownie and then covered with sprinkles.

Scotch Eggs are something we like, but this is different. If you don’t know what is a Scotch Egg then it is a boiled egg that is covered in sausage meat and breadcrumbs, ideal for summer snacking. These Scotch eggs are a little bit different as they are sweet, not savoury and require no cooking at all, and, they are a lot tastier.

This is an exceedingly lazy recipe, everything is pre-made so the only time it takes is construction time.

We started with ready-made brownies which we then crumbled up and mix together with ready-made buttercream. Wrap the brownie/buttermilk mix around a bought creme egg and then using store-bought sprinkles, cover your egg. And now you have chocolate Scotch eggs.
