A food influencer has sparked a wave of culinary curiosity after revealing what she describes as a 'revolutionary' method for enjoying Cadbury Mini Eggs, claiming it significantly enhances their flavour. This discovery comes as supermarkets across the United Kingdom begin to stock seasonal Easter treats, despite some consumer criticism over pricing.
The 'Wrong' Way to Eat a Classic Treat
Grace, a baker and content creator with a substantial online following, regularly shares videos of her baking experiments and supermarket food discoveries. In a recent social media post, she presented a surprising premise to her audience. "Apparently, I have been eating Mini Eggs wrong," she declared at the outset of her video.
A Simple Yet Transformative Technique
The core of her method is remarkably straightforward. Displaying a tin filled with the colourful chocolate eggs, she placed a portion into a glass bowl. Her recommendation was to microwave them for a brief period of between ten and twenty seconds. The goal is to warm the treats just enough to melt the chocolate centre while keeping the iconic sugar shell intact.
"They go all crackly, it's like they're being born," Grace observed as she held up a warmed egg for the camera. During the demonstration, she accidentally applied too much pressure, causing the shell to crack and revealing the softened, melted chocolate inside—a visual testament to the transformation.
An Elevated Taste Experience
Upon tasting the microwaved egg, her immediate reaction was one of clear astonishment. "Oh wow," she exclaimed. However, the culinary hack did not end there. Seeking to create an entirely new snack experience, Grace then proceeded to pour cold milk over the warmed Mini Eggs, effectively turning them into an improvised cereal.
Drawing on a previous pregnancy craving where she enjoyed Maltesers in a similar fashion, she was eager to test this version. The result, by her account, was far from disappointing. After savouring a spoonful, she reflected, "I feel like 2026 has been the year of absolutely exquisite snacks, and we're not even half way through. We're not even a month through."
Praise for the Inventor and the Leftover Milk
Her enthusiasm was palpable. "This, I'm gonna kiss the forehead of whoever told me to make this," she added, clearly impressed as she took another bite. She also highlighted an unexpected bonus: the residual milk in the bowl. Having been subtly flavoured by the chocolate, she described it as 'sublime'.
"If you like cereal milk, this milk is on another level," she remarked, emphasising the added depth of flavour created by the melted cocoa.
A Viral Reaction and Widespread Approval
The video quickly garnered significant attention and a flood of comments from intrigued viewers. One person wrote enthusiastically, "I can smell them from here. GOOD LAWD," while another simply stated, "Melted Mini Eggs are elite."
Further endorsement came from a user who claimed this was not a novel idea in their household, commenting, "My husband's been doing this for 30 years I posted about it several years ago also. It is the only way to eat these eggs." Perhaps the most notable reaction came from the official Cadbury Instagram account, which replied succinctly, "Well, we’re off to the kitchen," suggesting even the confectionery giant was intrigued by the hack.
This simple yet innovative approach to a classic British Easter chocolate demonstrates how a small change in preparation can reinvent a familiar treat, offering a new, warm, and creamy snacking experience just as the seasonal products hit the shelves.
