Ashley Rodriguez has tweaked a recipe for homemade “Cadbury’s” Easter creme eggs from Instructables user Scoochmaroo and published it. The store-bought version of these glop-filled chocolate eggs always seem like a good idea until they get halfway down my oesophagus (whereupon they try to reverse direction); who knows, maybe a “small batch” homemade one with less HFCS and plutonium* will continue to reward ingestion all the way to my digestive tract’s terminus.
½ cup Lyle’s golden syrup
6 tablespoons butter, softened
½ teaspoon salt
3 drops orange blossom water (optional)
1 vanilla bean, seeds removed (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cup powdered sugar
¼ to ½ teaspoon yellow food coloring
12 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (or 1 bag bittersweet chocolate chips)

*Or whatever Cadbury’s uses to attain that “Holy shitting Cthulhu, what have I just swallowed?” sensation
