Divide between the cases so they are two-thirds filled, then bake for 12-15 mins until risen. Cool on a wire rack.

For the frosting, microwave the chocolate on High for 1 min. Cream the butter and sugar together, then beat in the melted chocolate. Spread on the cakes and decorate with Maltesers and chocolate eggs.
