Biggest Mob Yummy - It’s Easter - melt your chocolate bunnies!

What?! Doesn’t everyone melt their Easter bunnies just before eating them??

If, for some reason, you are insane and like to put your chocolate in the freezer before eating it, it’s time to look away.

The way I have eaten chocolate Easter bunnies for 10+ years is put them in an oven (at approx 200 degrees) and remove them - quickly - just as their little tubby brown bunny bodies collapse.

That makes it a recipe, right?

You can use Easter ‘eggs’ but the ‘bunnies’ are much better and I know my stuff … but only about chocolate bunnies.

It takes 1-2 minutes to start melting and then you need to whip it out right quick. Yee hah!

But I have to warn you … the plate gets more heated than eating a laksa with extra chilli in the sun whilst discussing pronouns with a young person. Stay safe.

The result: 100% AWESOME!

If you leave it in the oven a fraction too long - because, hypothetically speaking, last night you got distracted by a funny Facebook video of a sock puppet singing 80s songs - it ends up a shapeless puddle of melted bunny. And that’s psychotic! Be vigilant.

But get it right, and you will be smiling through brown teeth. FYI, I really considered leaving this sentence out .. it’s odd.

Yep, you feel sick afterwards and the sugar IS killing you but lots of fun things make you feel that way. And cocoa is a seed and that’s healthy so it all balances out. No need to fact check this.

As a long-time connoisseur, I slightly prefer a Cadbury Easter bunny but Red Tulip does a good job too. The off-season cheap Santa Clause ones should be avoided unless desperate. Nasty.

Always, and I repeat ALWAYS use Cadbury (or Red Tulip if pressed). But never, ever use the cheap and nasty unknown brand Easter bunnies.

Tearing bits off with a spoon/by hand and then licking the plate at the end is the correct protocol. Especially if you no longer feel pressure to impress your partner. I will be doing this in about 2 hours.

I have introduced a few sceptics to this new way of doing something old and they have all said exactly the same thing:

‘Seriously, you are 49-years-old, not 8-years old .. WTF’

But they also said they liked it.

Eating a melted Easter egg is practically a religious experience. Ha ha.

True, Cadbury and Red Tulip bunnies are not cheap BUT 2 for $11 deals - or post Easter crazy sales - lessen the hit. And it’s only for a few weeks (months?) which helps. And just don’t buy other stuff.

Shopping for bunnies at Coles recently, Her Territory (HT) and I bumped into Minoli (from Ella by Minoli) and I told her about this nonsense of which I type .. and being so nice she humoured me and even suggested adding marshmallows and bananas! So maybe try that too.

Some other things a melted bunny goes well with is wine and MAFS.

But I warn you … time is running out! Drama!!!! The Easter bunnies will be off the shelf before you know it so grab one, and (partly) melt it while you can.

Also, if you are OCD you can squash the aluminium wrapping into a perfect tiny ball for hours. Until it’s PERFECT! Or maybe that’s just me?

Thumbs up rating: 8 billion/5

There is a specific art to this. Never melt the rabbit TOO much. Just slightly. You have to be able to still eat the thing, so don’t go crazy.
