35 Ways with Speckled Eggs

It's the season of hot cross buns, cream filled chocolate eggs and shameless chocolate overdoses. But sweetheart, you can even keep your decadent Lindt bunnies - just spoil me with a bag of Speckled Eggs to go with my cup of tea! After all, it's no secret that happiness is really egg shaped with a chocolate-candy coating and jelly centre.

After stumbling across a couple of innovative ideas with speckled eggs on another blog, I took the matter a step further and compiled this list of over 30 ways to make the most of these pastel munchies. So I'll essentially be stuffing my face with speckled eggs every day for the entire month of April - which is a lie, but wouldn't that just be living the dream?

For the ♥ of Popcorn

When I felt winter nipping at my ankles this morning, I couldn't think of anything better than curling up on the couch with a big bowl of crunchy popcorn deliciousness ♥ A while ago I did a post for Momtrepreneur on various moreish toppings - so positively scrumptious, it's definitely worth a reblog. 

• Feel good treat: Cinnamon, icing sugar and a variety of dried fruit, seeds and nuts.
• Simple savoury: Parsley, paprika, salt and a drizzle of melted butter.
• Eastern munchies: Cumin, coriander, a pinch of cayenne pepper and a sprinkle of salt.
• Greek inspired: Parmesan sprinkles with parsley, garlic salt and a drizzle of olive oil or balsamic.
• Hot & happening: Butter and (sweet) chilli sauce melted together and drizzled over.
• Onion & chives: Dried or fresh chives and a dusting of white onion soup powder.
• Gourmet: A mixture of lemon juice, black pepper, rosemary and salt tossed into the popcorn.
• Caffeine addict: Coffee powder, icing sugar and melted golden syrup or butter.
• Palate cleanser: Lemon zest, chilli powder and a sprinkle of salt.
• Italian lovin’: Oregano, basil, parsley and garlic salt with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Meaty man: Barbecue spice and small crunchy bacon bits with melted butter.
• Oriental bite: Wasabi salt or spice with a splash of soy sauce and sprinkle of dried nori.
• Chocolate frenzy: Cocoa powder, icing sugar, mini marshmallows and melted honey & butter.
• Old faithful: A sprinkle of fine salt and a dash of vinegar with parsley just for fun.
