How to make a Scotch Cadbury Creme Egg revealed in tasty recipe that adds MORE chocolate

HERE'S an Scotch Egg recipe with a difference - someone has worked out how to make them with CHOCOLATE.

A genius Reddit user came up with the chocolatey treat for the run-up to Easter - and dubbed it the Creme Scotch Egg.

It's a normal scotch egg, except it does without the meat, breadcrumbs, and actual egg.

The egg is replaced by a creme egg, and then wrapped in a thick layer of chocolate sponge.

It is then given an artery-busting coating of grated and melted chocolate, before being left in the fridge to cool.

Here we explain how to make it.

1. Bake a a very basic chocolate sponge first.
2. After allowing it to cool, crumble the cake in a food processor until the
   texture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Next add the remainder of the butter, icing sugar and cocoa, then mix until it
   turns into the same consistency as dough or shortcrust pastry.
4. Then take handfuls of the dough, encase each Cadbury's cream egg and roll into
   fist sized balls.
5. Place each egg onto a plate or board covered with baking paper, then pop it in
   the fridge to chill until its firm.
6. Grate 100 grams of chocolate into a bowl or plate and melt the remaining 200g
   of chocolate.
7. Once the eggs are firm take them out of the fridge and dip them into the
   melted chocolate, and immediately roll them through the grated pile.
8. Pop them back in the fridge for a further 10 minutes to cool - then enjoy.
