Because I could use a few right now. I'm hesitating between actual baking (save for a few biscuits for ourselves) and making little candy eggs, which I then can pack in decorative paper boxes and give away as gifts.

The ones I found online usually demand ingredients like marshmallow cream or peanut butter, which I can't get here, and give the measures in the American system without adding the equivalents in grams, etc. Now I do have a sheet the help of which I can calculate the measures, but it's just too much bother. So, if anyone could point me in the direction of recipes an European baker could follow without applying higher mathematics, I'd be extremely grateful.

If nothing else helps, I'll simply use the Christmas candy recipes for my little eggs, but I'd like to give something new a try.

Thanks in advance, folks!

This was the easiest one I could find that didn't require a mess of specialized ingredients. I'm pretty sure you could change the candies used to something you could get there.

this all sounds very yum. i have no idea what easter candy even is. i'm presuming chocolate, as in bunnies or eggs???? forgive my britishness, and lack of knowledge when it comes to religious holidays.... but.... *steps into nearby red telephone box, emerges with cape and mask as SUPERFERRET!!!*

i had a search. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-make-easter-egg good ol'bbc ehy? they seem to have good chocolate receipe for eggs in molds, but what caught my eye was the rice crispie chocolate egg at the bottom of the page https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5809/chocolate-krispie-chick (i hope you can access that link or i'll be talking to the void). that got me to thinking about bunny chocolates on sticks and eggs on sticks like lollipops *leaps around like the child catcher from chitty-chitty-bang-bang*

also, at the bottom of the page for the krispie chick are more and more and more and more recipes, all with imperial measurements. hope this helps

In the end I decided to use the same basic mass I make Christmas candy from; only to shape it as tiny Easter eggs and add colourful icing. At least I know I can make those.
