Everything Cadbury mini eggs!
Did I mention that I love Cadbury mini eggs yet? Well if not, I do. I usually always have them on hand in the pantry at this time of the year. (Usually hiding behind something inconspicuous so my husband doesn’t find them!) they are a great treat when you crave something sweet, and even better when baked into a special Easter treat.

- With a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of oat mixture onto parchment lined baking sheet. Press 2 chocolate mini eggs into each cookie before.

Recipe notes
- You may use salted butter, or unsalted butter. (Whatever you have on hand or want to use up)
- When it comes to boiling the mixture; it needs to boil for a full 2 minutes. Don’t start timing it until it is at a full boil. if you don’t boil it long enough, the cookies won’t form properly. At the same time, don’t let it boil longer than directed as your cookies can turn out dry, and won’t stick together.
- boil over medium-high heat stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- If you boil everything correctly and your cookies still don’t seem thick enough, try adding more oats to thicken the mixture.
