Easter Tray Bake

Easier than a cake, but just as delicious, an Easter tray bake is the ideal simple recipe to make with the kids. With a combination of easter eggs, mini eggs and creme eggs, it's probably the most moreish bake for fans of Easter chocolate. Just make sure you have extra mini eggs to snack on while it's in the oven.
