- Cover egg rings with water.
- Place Tea Towel under the lid and fold over top to catch any condensation.
- Cook on HIGH for 2 hours ( may need more or less as all slow cookers are different )
CHOCOLATE FROSTING
- Cream butter and cocoa together until creamy.
- Add Vanilla Essence
- Add 1 Cup of icing mixture at a time to butter mixture ( 4 cups all up may need a little more if not firm enough )
- Add splash of milk to keep mixture smooth
- Mixture should be smooth but firm enough to form peaks
- (Measurements are approximate, you might need to add slightly more milk or more icing sugar mixture to get the consistency you want - no set rules
