The only problem with this wonderful list is that I don't know where to start! I'd say something chocolatey but that doesn't narrow it down enough! Maybe I'll start with Mini Eggs and take it from there 🙂
Jacqueline Bellefontaine says
Mini eggs is a good place to start. You are right there are so many great recipes here but my Easter would never be complete without a hot cross bun or two.
