Cadbury Egg Easter Cupcakes

Okay so I definitely disappeared for the last week, sorry! Things have been ridiculously busy and somehow an entire week just slipped by. Anyway to these Cadbury Egg Easter Cupcakes. Cadbury is actually my favourite type of chocolate, ever, more specifically the Milk Chocolate, then the Dark Chocolate. Ah, chocolate. Know what’s even better? Chocolate and Cupcakes. No wait, Chocolate Cupcakes with Cadbury inside! Cadbury Eggs! Yes, these cupcakes are quite the treat. Note they’re for sweet tooth lovers! I love how these Cadbury Eggs taste inside of the cupcakes and they’re the perfect surprise!

I saw this lovely idea whilst browsing Pinterest which landed me on one of my favourite sites – Pizzazzerie by the lovely Courtney who posted this idea. I didn’t use her recipe but I definitely had to re use the cupcake surprise of the eggs in the middle. As I’ve said before a cupcake needs a little surprise! Exhibit A and Exhibit B here.

I topped mine with yellow cream cheese frosting because you know, spring, and yellow just seemed so bright and spring-like! These cupcakes are perfect for Easter – if you’re making them, let me know okay? I will be coming over.
