Four clever ways to use up leftover Easter egg chocolate now bank holiday is over

Leftover Easter egg chocolate? Is there such a thing? Turns out some people get so much chocolate over the bank holiday, with Brits predicted to have spent £457.6 million on chocolate this Easter, they just can't finish it.

And as tasty as chocolate is, you might find yourself getting fed up of consuming egg after egg. If that's you, why not melt down the chocolate into another tasty form?

Don't get us wrong, we love chocolate, but there are only so many hollow eggs you can eat in a short space of time.

Luckily, there are plenty of ways to use up your leftover eggs.

Easter Egg dip

TikTok content creator Liz Nicolaou has shared a dreamy way of using up leftover Easter egg chocolate, and it's so simple.

She explained: "I have named this 'Leftover Easter Egg Dump Dip'," and went on to explain that all you do is "dump" all your leftover choccies into a baking dish.

She then topped the whole thing with marshmallows, and baked it in the oven for about 15 minutes at about 130C. Liz then uses a wafer to dip into the gooey mixture, but you could use anything you'd like.

What better way to use your chocolate than to make it into a cake? Try making a decadent chocolate cake that you can share with your family.

BBC Good Food has plenty of recipes that are perfect for leftover Easter eggs.

Try to mare a simple but delicious traybake, for example this one from BBC Good Food.

Or you could try to make an Easter egg rocky road, also by BBC Good Food.

Make a fondue

Fondues are a great way of using up any leftover chocolate without it being boring.

Simply melt all the chocolate together, and then dip your favourite things in it.

Make it a bit healthier by dipping fruit like strawberries and bananas, or indulge with marshmallows.

Give them away

If you really can't face any more chocolate, the best thing you can do is give them away to someone you might appreciate them more.

Try your staffroom at work, or your children could gift them to their favourite teacher.

Or even better, find your nearest food bank and donate them.
