The easiest and most delicious chocolate packed Easter Egg Cookie Slice! Less than 10 minutes prep time and the perfect way to indulge in an Easter treat!
Hellooooo Easter-y goodness!!! Do you know what always makes me laugh… that there’s such an uproar about the supermarkets selling Easter eggs too early. WELL!!!! Let me just say, that when you run a food blog you neeeeeeeed them to sell Easter eggs early! I had to beg my local supermarket to let me buy the Easter eggs that were still stacked in boxes on top of their aisles so I could make this slice (ok… ok… I know it was only early January… but hey, I like to be organised!!!!).
Anyway, luckily these yummy Easter eggs came to my rescue and I can bring to you the easiest, the yummiest and the quickest Easter Egg Cookie Slice. Yep, it was worth battling to buy Easter eggs in January if it meant eating this slice.
What is a cookie slice?
Welllll!!! This slice is called an Easter Egg Cookie Slice because it’s just like 1 massive cookie… but in a slice. If you look at the ingredients, you’ll be surprised that there’s nothing to make it rise (no self-raising flour, no bi-carb soda, no baking powder… nothing!). This is because it’s a beautiful dense and chewy slice… just like a cookie (but with a whole heaps of Easter eggs hidden inside!!!!).
The best type of Easter eggs to use in a slice:
You can fill this yummy slice with absolutely any Easter eggs you like! Some that I’d recommend are:
- Mini Eggs
- Speckled Eggs
- Mini Caramello Eggs
- Malteser Mini Eggs
Ooh and I should add that this slice is highly addictive. And I mean HIGHLY addictive. To say that you’ll be hiding in the cupboard sneaking a few pieces is the understatement of the year. You’ll be eating the entire thing. I promise!!
And hey, you didn’t hear this from me… BUUUUT if you just so happened to feel like warming this Easter Egg Cookie Slice up a tiny bit in the microwave and then topping it with a big scoop of vanilla ice-cream, then you just might have uncovered the best dessert EVER!!!
