Easter sweet treats that aren’t hot cross buns
Posted on
We have officially entered the week of Easter, but if you’re like me and have been consuming hot cross buns for the last month, you might be looking for a different sweet treat to indulge in.
Keeping with the Easter festivities, here are some different Easter-themed treats for you to try on the countdown to the long weekend that aren’t hot cross buns.
Midnight Bar (Braddon)

Because who can say no to an Easter-themed cocktail? Shaking up three limited edition drinks, Midnight Bar is now home to the Hazel Hop (imagine an alcoholic Tim Tam Slam), the Whitechoco-Tinin (white light vodka, crème de cocoa, ice cream, citric sugar, macadamia nuts, and cream) and the Easter Lily (a sweet, sherbert-y delight with a zesty lemon twist). They’re the things sweet dreams – and drinks – are made of.

Established in 1984, Bruno’s is a much-loved chocolatier and truffle shop. During special occasions, such as Easter, you can purchase uniquely made Swiss chocolate bunnies, half-filled eggs with assorted truffles and any of their array of individual truffle and chocolate selections, such as brandied apricots and pears.
If, however, chocolate is not your thing, don’t worry, Bruno’s also offers pastries such as a range of delicious galettes, Danish pastries and scrolls.
