Method
Preheat your oven to 200°C and pop 12 bun cases into a bun tin.
Mix the flour and sugar together. Stir in the milk and egg until combined. Stir in the drinking chocolate then the melted butter. Scoop the batter into the prepared tin.
Bake for 20 minutes until baked through. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof dish above some boiling water, making sure not to let the steam into the chocolate. Set it aside.
Whip the sugar, cocoa powder, and butter until fluffy. Whisk in the melted chocolate and the milk.
Spread some icing onto the top of each bun and use this to stick the crumbly chocolate and eggs onto.
