Easter is over, and you've done your best to eat up all your chocolate eggs.
For some this is an easy feat, but for others it might be quite the challenge.
For many, Easter is synonymous with chocolate, and it's estimated that Brits spend a whopping £299 million on Easter eggs each year.
If you've got to this point and still have Easter chocolate left, you might be thinking of other clever ways you can use it up.
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 you can use it up. Here are some conscious ways to deal with your leftovers, curtesy of SkipsAndBins.
Bake a cake
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.
You could make a decadent Easter nest cake using chocolate eggs to decorate. Why not try this one from BBC Good Food?
Alternatively, try to mare a simple but delicious traybake, for example this one from BBC Good Food.
Make alternative chocolate treats
If you still want to taste that chocolatey goodness, making alternative choccie treats is a good idea.
One alternative is a chocolate bomb, which can be dropped into warm milk to create the most amazing hot chocolate.
Simply pour the melted chocolate into two dome shapes, and stick them together, as shown here by BBC Good Food.
You could even put some marshmallows inside for a tasty surprise.
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.
SkipsAndBins also recommend disposing of them sensibly. For example, you can put your unused chocolate in an incinerator which can create energy that can be used again, although this will need to be done professionally.
Alternatively, chocolate can be composted at home, although it's vital that this is done correctly so that harmful bacteria will be killed and it can then be used within animal feed.
Recycle wrappers and packaging
Wrappers and packaging must be separated from its contents, so remember to do this if you are using your chocolate for anything.
One crafty way of doing this is ironing out wrappers and covering items such as pencil pots and notebooks.
You could also use the inserts from chocolate boxes as bookmarks.
If the chocolate comes in a tin, you can use these for your sewing kits, or other bits and bobs you have lying around.
