We all know that Easter is a time of indulgence and that indulgence often involves chocolate – lots and lots of Easter chocolate. Unfortunately, there will come a time when you’ve eaten all the chocolate that you possibly can – when you’ve squeezed the last marshmallow egg into your mouth and the final bunny has been dismembered.

So, what to do once you’ve recovered from that sugar coma and are still sitting with a mountain of chocolate? Easy. Make these chocolate recipes and revel in your thriftiness.
