Don’t be impatient when beating the melted butter and sugars together. Do it really well on a high speed for at least 2-3 minutes. They should be light, smooth and fluffy before you move onto the next step for this cookie dough to work at it’s best! (See my step by step picture recipe images for visual help.) Ahead of Easter Sunday (April 9, 2023) I've got a long list of gluten free, coeliac-safe Easter eggs in UK supermarkets right now. Have you found any other gluten free Easter eggs or noticed any changes to this list since it was published? If you're not avoiding dairy, many 'normal' Easter eggs are free from gluten-containing ingredients anyway.

A geometric pattern is always a good choice if you're wanting to go outside the norm, and this Easter Bunny is an abstract delight. Cadbury's has admitted that its chocolate Easter eggs are smaller this year, claiming that it wants to keep its products affordable for customers.I've swept the supermarket shelves of Asda, Co-Op, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose to find all the Easter eggs which are gluten free.

A favourite for all ages this bunny sits at 12cm tall and is made from an indulgent, caramelised white ‘Gold' chocolate. Butter – Always use unsalted butter and add the salt separately in baking. It gives you full control over the flavour. I've broken this blog post into two sections for ease: Gluten Free Easter Eggsand Gluten and Dairy Free Easter Eggs. A spokesperson for Cadbury's said: “At Cadbury, our priority is to keep our beloved brands as affordable as we can.Chocolate Egg shell made with Cadbury Dairy 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤**, Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Vegetable Fats (Palm, Shea), Emulsifiers (E442, E476), Flavourings, **The equivalent of 426 ml of Fresh Liquid 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 in every 227 g of 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 Chocolate, 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 Solids 20 % minimum, actual 23 %, Cocoa Solids 20 % minimum, Contains Vegetable Fats in addition to Cocoa Butter Cadbury Creme 𝐄𝐠𝐠 Sugar, 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤, Glucose Syrup, Cocoa Butter, Invert Sugar Syrup, Whey Powder (from 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤), Cocoa Mass, Vegetable Fats (Palm, Shea), Emulsifier (E442), Dried 𝐄𝐠𝐠 White, Flavourings, Colour (Paprika Extract), 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 Chocolate: 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 Solids 14 % minimum, Contains Vegetable Fats in addition to Cocoa Butter All of the Easter Eggs in this section of guide, at the time of writing, are gluten free, dairy free and safe for people with coeliac disease. You can never assume anything is safe but this Easter egg guide should help you navigate the best choices for gluten free. How to use my gluten free Easter eggs guide Flour – Plain flour (all purpose in the US) is what’s needed here. Don’t use self raising or gluten free types as they will act differently and give unexpected results.

Egg – Large free range organic are what I use. Any you have will work fine, just don’t use tiny or massive eggs as this could affect the end result. Make sure you freeze the Mini Creme Eggs before baking! Otherwise they will melt into nothing and you’ll be sad. Very sad. Add both sugars and beat on high speed in a stand mixer until light and smooth. At least 2-3 minutes! The last publicised drop in weight was in 2019, when Easter egg brands from Crunchie to Creme Egg saw a similar 10 percent reduction. Additionally, the Cadbury Heroes Large Easter Egg will reduce from 264g to 236g this year, whilst the Cadbury Twirl Easter Egg will go from 262g to 237g.All of the Easter Eggs in this section of guide, at the time of writing, are gluten free and safe for people with coeliac disease. Dairy Fine Mini Eggs Chunky Bar - 225g (a great alternative to the Cadbury's Mini Eggs Bar which is now a 'may contain' for gluten)

Caster Sugar – My favourite is golden caster sugar as it adds a slight caramel flavour but regular white caster sugar is fine. (Superfine sugar in the US.) Take the mini Creme Eggs out their wrappers, place into a freezer safe bag or tub and freeze overnight. Providing a nostalgic caramel taste, each bunny is decorated with natural colours. This is also a nice touch if you're thinking of gifting as no two will be the same. Place on a small baking tray lined with foil and freeze for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 180ºC/Fan 170ºC/356ºF.It means that the Cadbury Large Creme Egg Easter Egg, as well as the Cadbury Crunchie Easter Egg, will both reduce from a weight of 258g to 233g this year.
