Baked in one pan, this candy-egg-dotted skillet treat (above) is sure to be an Easter hit.
Cake and Loaf Bakery in Hamilton, Ont.—now sadly closed—was famous for its lineup of mini egg Easter treats. Luckily, they shared their Mini Egg Chocolate Cookie recipe with us, so bust out that bag and try it!
During the Easter Rush, Cake & Loaf used to go through more than 700 lbs of mini eggs. (That’s equivalent to the weight of two full-grown gorillas.) A customer request led to the creation of these mouth-watering cookies.
Cake and Loaf created hundreds of scone variations over the years, but they rarely did a chocolate base. Cocoa powder tends to dry out baked goods, and it took some testing to get the right balance to make this scone super chocolatey but still moist.
Italian and Greek cuisines both feature a braided Easter bread dotted with colour-tinted hen's eggs. In a spin on the classic recipe, the Test Kitchen team tucked candied eggs into these mini loaves just after baking for a hit of chocolate.
