It seems many parents had the same idea when it came to serving their kids’ cereal in a huge chocolate egg, and shared it on Facebook for others to see.

And for those who hadn’t thought of it, desperately wish they had.

The popular Easter-inspired  breakfast idea proved to be an annual tradition for many families which sees parents cutting open giant chocolate eggs and filling it with the most delicious chocolatey breakfast cereal they can get their hands on.

For some, this was Coco Pops, while others opted for Coco Shreddies or even Fruit Loops and served it with nothing more than milk and a spoon.

While most admitted to not usually allowing such sugary treats for breakfast, many insisted the annual holiday called for the obligatory chocolate eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Sharing his breakfast creation on Facebook, one dad posted snaps of his perfectly halved chocolate eggs which he’d even served in the original packaging for effect.

Alongside the mouth-watering snaps, he said: “How we do breakfast for the kid’s on Easter,” before wishing other members of the group a happy Easter.

The creative breakfast treat sparked joy for many with the post racking up a whopping nine thousand Facebook likes.

The post also prompted many others to share their own equally satisfying chocolate egg breakfast bowls and the snaps certainly got our tongues wagging.

Some parents managed to take a snap before young hungry hands got a hold of the treats, while others couldn’t wait and started eating before mums and dads could get the shot.

But for many the idea was new, and a great one at that, with with parents branding the Easter tradition as “perfect”.

One woman said: “Wow what a brilliant idea, I always knew about having baileys in Lindt bunnies for us adults but never thought about cereal. Its never too early for chocolate on Easter or Christmas and especially as it’s a confusing time for our children right now.2

With another impresses mum saying: “Wish I’d thought of this, I’d have been top mum for a day. Maybe do something for lunch or pudding after tea. Great idea, saves on washing up too.”

And it seems it makes the perfect treat for adults too, with one woman saying: ” Never mind the kids. This is how I eat breakfast at Easter.”

The sweet treat comes after a growing trend for people making their own desserts at home during lockdown.

Disney has released their iconic churro recipe so now you can make them yourself.

Meanwhile, people are loving this woman’s ‘foolproof’ doughnut recipe which shows just how easy it is to make them from scratch at home.
