Want to be a hero this Easter? Make your own Cadbury Creme Eggs.
Few week ago I had my first taste of asparagus. I may have been jumping the gun a bit, but for me, abundance of fresh stacked asparagus symbolize spring more than the presence of tulips and the gentle warmth of sun. (Here, We are still waiting for that sun.)

Anyway, there is another taste that has become a spring tradition, which reminds me,  Have you ever notice there are certain desserts that are popular around the same time year after year?  Snow-Drop cookies for Christmas, red velvet anything for Valentine’s day, anything pumpkin or congealed cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving, carrot cake and Cadbury Creme Eggs for Easter. Yep, you guessed right, this little chocolate tradition is egg-shaped and stuffed with a creamy center that oozes sweetness and of course I’m talking about Cadbury Creme Eggs. Depending on your opinion, they’re either delicious or a tasteless sugar bomb, but in every case, you can do better at home with a few ingredients and some time.
So you want to be a hero this Easter? Make your own Cadbury Creme Eggs.

Pour some chocolate into a silicone egg mold, filling bottom of each egg about 1/2 inch, and swirl to coat the sides.

Roll the yellow mixture into balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
