The Cadbury recipe works just fine. To “Just Me” – Either click the picture, or there will be a link provided (usually above the recipe.)
http://www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.com/2011/04/homemade-cadbury-eggs/ here’s the link for the home made cadbury eggs just type in home made cadbury eggs cook book queen and you should find it
although i much rather like them to not have corn starch bleck a more natural recipe would be better tasting.
