When you think Easter the sweet treats that usually come to mind are chocolate eggs, marshmallows and hot cross buns.
The Easter weekend feels a lot like Christmas with all the family time and of course all the food and sweet treats we get to eat.
Easter egg hunts and marshmallow treats are a big part of the holiday tradition, but doing the same thing year after year can become boring.
Spice things up this holiday and keep the whole family entertained this Easter with these unusual treats.

Filled Hollow eggs
There is nothing worse than unwrapping a beautifully packaged chocolate egg only to find it's nothing but a hollow shell.
Thankfully that's a thing of the past and there are many fun and delicious ways to fill your chocolate eggs at home.
