These Easter chocolate chicks are simply made from creme eggs and chocolate buttons – don’t they look great?!
My chicks have been super popular every Easter since 2012, so I thought I’d make a video to show you just how easy they really are!
And here’s the full details on how to make them.
How to make Easter chocolate chicks
Ingredients
- 5 Cadbury Creme Eggs
- 1 pack of orange flavour chocolate buttons (from the baking aisle)
- 6 squares of cooking chocolate
- 2 packs of white chocolate buttons
- 2 packs of milk chocolate buttons
- 1 black writing icing pen
Instructions
- Melt the cooking chocolate and get a clean teaspoon ready
- Turn a clean, empty mug or bowl upside down (this bit’s important!)
- Place two orange buttons side by side on the upturned mug/bowl
- Using the teaspoon, put a small blob of melted chocolate behind the two buttons, where they meet
- Stick a cream egg on top, pointy end up
- Using the melted chocolate as glue stick on:
- Two milk chocolate buttons for the wings
- One milk chocolate button for the tail at the back
- Two white chocolate buttons for the eyes
- One orange button, cut into a triangle for the beak
- One orange button, cut into a crescent for the crest
- Draw the pupils on with the icing pen, then dab with a wet finger to flatten
Allow the chicks to set and then free them from the bowl by turning it right way up again and filling with a little boiled water – carefully pull on the chick after a few seconds and it should come off whole.
If you’re feeling extra creative, you can use the offcuts to make different types of crest or use different coloured writing icing pens for extra detail.
Enjoy!
Do you have any photos of the TAIL side of these Cadbury Egg Chicks – showing how you placed the “tails”

Woohoo! Thanks! :D
Erm. . . Either it’s just me doing something very wrong (probably) or these are NOT easy! Well, the kids have a big, fat mess made of squished eggs to eat when they get home from school. And I’m full of the cold from hell so there’s no way I’m going out to get more supplies. I just don’t understand. Mind you, the heating’s been on full blast for the last two days. Maybe that hasn’t helped. I feel grumpy now. And sorry for myself. Think I’ll just crawl back under the duvet. Shouldn’t have tried this today!
Aw really? Joel did two of them entirely by himself while I was cooking dinner and he’s four so I don’t think they’re too hard :s Hmm. Maybe the heating is too high for the choc to set. Our eggs stuck to the feet on the upturned mug in seconds, so then we didn’t need to hold the eggs while decorating them. Did you do it in that order? Hope you feel better soon. xx
Emily, hi and thanks for the reply.
My fever broke during the night and although my cold’s still lingering I’ve felt much more human today and tried again. Wow! You’re right! So simple! Much easier with the thermostat back at 21.5 degrees. That and the fact that I wasn’t trying to hold my blanket around myself at the same time! Thanks for sharing this. I’ll to do it every year. Unless I have a temperature, that is! xx
Yay so glad it worked for you and doubled pleased you’re feeling better xx
So cute! Love them!
They are so easy too!
This may just be the most awesome I Spy post ever. I WANT ONE!
:):) thanks!
They are fab. I want to pick up the one that looks like an Angry Bird and hurl it! Sorry x
They look fab. One looks like an Anngry Bird and I would be so tempted to pick it up and chuck it at someone! x x
Hehe, the one with the mohawk? Joel made that one by itself!
These are an amazing idea! Guess what new additions will be on the easter egg hunt!
Yay – get pics!

:D thanks!
Orange buttons? How have I never seen those before? Brilliant!
Yeah, good aren’t they? Found them in Tesco’s and just had to use them!
