yum?

This picture might be slightly disturbing to some, but I have to admit that I'm intrigued ... I think Cadbury Creme Eggs are a bit of an aquired taste (and I know some people have very strong feelings of hatred), but I have always loved them -- and I may just have to give this recipe a try:

This recipe calls for using the Mini Cadbury Creme Eggs (love!).

Cadbury Creme Egg Muffins
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
12 mini Cadbury creme eggs (not full size)

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, melted butter and vanilla until smooth. Whisk in milk.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Evenly distribute muffin batter into prepared pan. Place 1 mini Cadbury creme egg in the center of each muffin. You can use a small knife to pull a bit of batter over the top of the mufin, if you like.
Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the top of the muffin springs back when lightly pressed and the edges are a light gold.
Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Makes 12.

It's funny, I haven't had one Cadbury Creme Egg this Easter season ... I've probably missed my chance now too, but I hope not because I really want to try these out!

I'll keep you posted ;o)

Hmmmmm....I love cadbury eggs but those look a little suspect to me. Maybe they're filed under the category of looks weird-tastes awesome.

I had the same reaction when I saw them for the first time too. They look too much like a part of the female anatomy to me! I'll just eat the eggs thank you! :)

Truly, that picture is borderline obscene. It makes me laugh every time I look at it. That's why I had to post it :o)
