Directions
- Step 1To make the base, break the chocolate fingers in half then pulse in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse again until it just comes together then tip into the base of a 20 x 20cm square loose-bottomed tin.
- Step 2Smooth with the back of a spoon, making sure to press it right into the corners. Leave this to chill and firm up in the fridge while you make the filling.
- Step 3To make the filling, pop the mini eggs into a resealable food bag, seal and bash with a rolling pin or the base of a pan until they are roughly broken up. Set aside.
- Step 4Pop the remaining filling ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix with an electric mixer (or stand mixer) until thickened and holds fairly stiff peaks. Stir through two-thirds of the crushed mini eggs. Top the chilled base with this mixture, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon. Scatter over the remaining mini eggs, cover and chill until it has firmed up, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Step 5When ready to serve, cut into 12 bars.
This will keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
