No matter how hard we try, we always seem to find ourselves in an overwhelming sea of leftover sweet treats after Easter, and our houses are slowly resembling the inside of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Admittedly, there are far worse problems to have, but it’s a great excuse to be creative in the kitchen and get the kids involved.
