15 steps

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

  • Wash your hands properly.

  • Prepare the date filling: in a saucepan, combine the dates and water.

  • Cook for 7 minutes over medium heat, then stir and break the dates apart using a fork until you have a nice, creamy texture.

  • Add the cocoa and chocolate chips or mini eggs and stir vigorously until all the chocolate has melted.

  • Let stand.

  • Prepare the crumb mixture: put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well.

  • Spread half the crumb mixture evenly onto the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan and press down with a fork.

  • Spread the date filling over the crumb base.

  • Now cover with the remaining crumb mixture.

  • Decorate with mini eggs on top (as many as you like). And yes, you add them before baking.

  • Bake for 40 minutes at 180°C (350°F) or until the top is golden brown.

  • It’s going to smell deliciously like Easter in your house. Yumski!

  • They can be served warm… but are even better the next day or the day after.

  • Get ready to receive lots of compliments… and savour the moment.

History

A Madame Labriski-style healthy Easter dessert. Right, ok, it’s Easter so there’s a little bit more chocolate than usual. But because the rest of the recipe is super wholesome, you can happily indulge guilt-free.

I felt like making a dessert-snack that would be met with oohs and aahs of intense joy when I served it. I wanted something that was both spring-like and comforting at the same time. A unique dessert that would represent those famous Easter egg hunts. Hahaha!

Magicski! These Easter Egg Hunt Squares remind me of a hay field where loads of mini chocolate eggs have been hidden. You should have seen the reaction from my little boy (Adrien, aged 5) when I put the dish on the table: WOW MOMMY!

Mission accomplished.

You can make a gluten-free version of this culinary creation by simply opting for gluten-free ingredients.
