Mmmmmmm.....

I think Easter may just be my favourite holiday. Not because of any of the reasons you may think. So why, you ask? Well, it would have to be those yummy, chocolatey, creamy Cadbury Cream Eggs. I may be 30, but my sweet tooth is still 10, just ask my dentist! lol. My Dad still has a Cream Egg for me every time I see him. But, I shouldn't be eating as many as I may, so i thought I would make myself a treat.

This is my version of the SAFE Cadbury Cream Egg. It has 0 calories, 0 fat, and you can have as many as you want, but please, don't eat them, hehe. This Cream Egg comes complete with a recipe. Enjoy!!
