Does anyone have a favourite Easter egg ? My son's love the peanut butter ones. I love the wispa ones and my daughter...., Anything as long as it has chocolate ! .Hubby can't have as he's diabetic. Yes I know it's weeks till Easter, but it's just something fun to talk about.

Italian Easter eggs for me. You can't get the full range over here but in Italy they are works of art. The ones they make for children are fantastic and always have a toy attached. When we lived there my son was given one surrounded by a toy sweet shop, complete with scales and little jars of sweets and another with a lovely pop up book inside (which we still cherish). You don't see anything like that over here, not that I've seen anyway.

Who's got one hidden away for later? grin

Any, so long as not the same as last year, whatever that was. Kit Kat?
I just like things varied. And not super expensive.

I love the chocolate buttons that come with an egg.
They seem extra nice.

The Chocolate buttons one for me. They are in the shops so it would be rude not to........

My favourite too

Mini eggs large Easter Eggs please! However this year one of our lovely daughters has bought us all a box of Hotel Chocolate chocolates for Easter and foolishly given them to us already 🐷🐷🐽🐽

Got to be cold from the fridge but I prefer plain chocolate to milk. We are going away for Easter, us and two other families sharing a large house , I’m thinking of buying everyone a little chocolate surprise .

Got to be Cadbury's, put it in a small bag, smash to pieces and put it in the freezer - heaven 🐣🍫

Thanks Jaxjacky. I've been on a mission. The white Lindt one looked nice, but was £12.50!! Milky Bar Chocolate isn't her favourite. Still looking for the Malteser one, though I did find this Thorntons one for £4.50.
What a palaver.

Tesco have a few Joseann from Lindt to Milky Bar, Malteser (with white truffles) and Cadbury.

I'll eat pretty much any of them.

If anyone sees a white chocolate egg in one of the shops, can they let me know please. My DGD only eats white and I'm having difficulty finding one.

A box of good chocolates is much better value than an Easter egg . I wait in vain!

I remember those gorgeous Easter eggs with sugar flowers on them .
My mother and I tried making them .
We found that we'd have to use cooking chocolate to get them out of the moulds .
They looked beautiful , but tasted awful .
So we stopped .
I looked for the moulds recently and conclude that Mum must have thrown them away .

I prefer a Terry's chocolate orange or a Lindt bunny for Easter as the chocolate used to make Esster eggs doesn't always taste nice .

Not an egg but my favourite Easter chocolate.

No you wouldn't GSM - but to be honest my weaknesses are also savoury - in my case "good" bread, crackers, cheese, crisps, olives, nuts...

Granmarderby10 Fri 23-Feb-24 23:25:03

I still think that a milk chocolate Easter egg tastes more yummy than its’ * bar*counterpart.
Love that crack! Childish I know..
….did love Bassetts Jelly Babies but they are Maynard’s now and nowhere near as juicy. WHY? 😥

I love Kennedy’s Chocolate Factory Easter eggs, I buy them online if we’re not going to be near the shop in Orton.

Bridie22 Fri 23-Feb-24 22:16:02

Bought myself an orange twirl egg today...half price 🙂

Oreo Fri 23-Feb-24 22:11:03

I’ve got no self control with an Easter egg me, none at all😁
Once I’ve started I have to finish it, all of it.DP buys me one and has to hide it or it would be gone long before Easter.
All makes are welcome.

MissAdventure Fri 23-Feb-24 22:08:28

I don't like any of the posh chocs.
I regularly get the Hotel Chocolat chocolates, and I can't stand them, but don't like to say.

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 23-Feb-24 22:08:22

You wouldn’t want to break into them would you, NS? However, give me something savoury rather than sweet any day.

MiniMoon Fri 23-Feb-24 22:05:57

My husband usually buys a big posh Hotel Chocolat egg, I would much rather have a Cadbury's cream egg or several.

NotSpaghetti Fri 23-Feb-24 21:19:07

Have a look at these beauties GSM

Always keep my chocolate in the fridge.

It’s Bettys GSM I think they’re quite well known?

Oh Bettys! I can smell the hot buttered tea cakes.
