Tesco's #FindTheEggs!

Have a spare 5 minutes and have a computer? Why not try Tesco's FindTheEggs game? All you have to do is go to https://www.tescofindtheeggs.com/ and find 3 eggs on Google street-view, and you will receive a voucher to get a free Malteasers Bunny.
It's not a trick, it's not complicated - the eggs are right in front of you!

First, you have to confirm you are over 16, or have got permission to play this game.
Then you type in a postcode, town or area and click 'Go'!

You can hunt anywhere- near your house or work, or somewhere completely random! It's up to you!
The eggs aren't hidden or anything, (I thought they would be really hard to find!) they are just in the centre of the road. The aim of the game is to collect 3 eggs.

Depending on the area you choose, it should only take a few minutes to find three eggs.
Once you've found three eggs, you win a Malteasers chocolate bunny!

All you have to do is enter your name and email, and you will be sent a voucher from Tescos, and all you have to do is print it out and take it to a Tescos store to get a free Malteasers chocolate bunny!

You can also choose to add it to your Tescos order online, though this has a minumum spend and is only really for people who do online shops there.
If you click 'In Store' it will go straight to another small window asking for your name and email address, and your voucher will be sent to you. Simple!






This fun game and offer ends on the 30th of March 2013 (as the picture states) so don't miss out on the chance to win some free choccy in a fun game!

Also, if you find a golden egg, you win a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2!! So get hunting, there are some fab prizes to be won, and it's so fun and easy!

Cake Pops Recipe

My sister got a cake pop tin and a special cookbook for Christmas, so we all had a go at making some cake pops. The picture is of 6 of the best ones, though we made 20 of them!

Cake Pops are great to make for a special event or party, as well as just for eating yourselves! They are very fun to make and don't take that long to prepare or cook, so you can have your finished Cake Pops ready in less than an hour. (depending on how long you take to decorate!)

Vanilla and Chocolate Cake Pops

They are vanilla inside, and coated with chocolate, then decorated with sprinkles  glitter, marshmallows  or whatever we felt like! Recipe is under the picture.

Original recipe from 'Cake Pops' cook book by Molly Bakes. This is our updated recipe, as we found we needed more liquid in the mixture.
It makes enough for approximately 20 medium cake pops.

INGREDIENTS
120g unsalted butter (softened)
150g caster sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs (room temperature)
180g self-raising flour (sieved)
5tbsp milk (room temperature)

TOOLS
1 large mixing bowl
1 wooden spoon
1 sieve
1 cake pops tin
20 cake pop sticks (provided with most tins)
1 teaspoon

RECIPIE
Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180°. Lightly grease and flour the cake pops tin.
Cream the butter and sugar, then add the eggs - mixing well before adding the next. Make sure the eggs are at room temperature, otherwise the mixture can curdle.
Add half the flour then half the milk until fully combined. Repeat with the rest of the flour and milk.

Pour the cake pops mixture into the cake pops tin and bake for 30-45 minutes. You can check if the cake is done by putting a cocktail stick into a cake ball, and if it comes out clean the cakes are done.
Once baked, leave to cool in the cake tin for 20 minutes before putting them onto a wire cooling rack. This stops the cake from crumbling, so don't skip this step!

Now simply melt some good quality cooking chocolate and dip the cake pops in. If the cake pops fall of the sticks, dip the sticks in chocolate first, then put it into the cake ball. Leave this to set, then decorate the main ball. Add sprinkles and decorations as you wish, then leave to cool. Voila! You are done!
