This is such a quick and easy treat for the young people in your life and is catered and created for this Easter season but can be used for any other special event or occasion.
So here is a fun idea I’m dropping in where both the kiddos as well as the grown-ups get to enjoy yummy chocolate eggs in a rustic but pretty pastry dough basket that’s lightly basted with a little honey water, and sprinkled with a tad of cinnamon sugar.
Adults enjoy these too. You just bite into the fluffy and tasty pastry basket and there’s a big bite of chocolate egg waiting for you too. Anyway, enjoy and happy Easter! For He is Risen!
