If you're new to the blog then you might not have read my very first post on how to reinvent chocolate and flowers, so my first suggestion is to head over there to get some ideas on how to do things a little differently.
Then you have to decide whether you're going to be brave and try and make her an easter egg (or chocolate treat) yourself or whether you're going to go out and buy one.
I'll start with the easiest option, so if you're not intending to make an egg/treat yourself then I really really recommend that you try and buy her something a bit more special than a generic Cadbury easter egg. If you don't know of any local chocolate shops where you could buy a good quality handmade egg then I strongly suggest that you splash out on the quality eggs at the supermarket. Failing that, you could just put together a box/bag of her favourite chocolates alongside some eastery treats like creme eggs or mini eggs!
If you're up for the challenge then you could even make her...
- an easter egg (here's one recipe or an alternative and visit a local cake decorating/cookery supplies shop for chocolate mouls)
- a chocolate krispie chick (here's the recipe and again, you'll need to buy some moulds)
- chocolate nests (the recipe uses shredded wheat but you could use cornflakes or rice krispies)
- decorated easter eggs (have a look here for one idea but google decorated eggs for others or come up with your own personalised idea!)
As always, try and package it as beautifully as the present itself is otherwise it won't have the same effect!
But most importantly, have a lovely Easter weekend and make sure you eat lots of chocolate!
