Malteser MaltEaster Bunny and Mini Egg Chocolate Cake

It always irks me how as soon as Boxing Day has passed, you can buy Easter eggs in the shops! Now don’t get me wrong, I love eating a chocolate egg as much as the next chocolate egg eating person, BUT I do feel selling them straight after Christmas is just too early.

My favourite little easter treats are mini eggs. They are so scrumptious and pretty and easy to eat! I have made a few recipes now which include them (see the bottom of this post for some), and the other week I decided to make another cake incorporating them and, hence, this Malteser MaltEaster Bunny & Mini Egg Chocolate Cake was created.
