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.

Sometimes they came in a basket with a long handle, too.

Then you could play red riding hood when you'd eaten your chocolate, or make a bed for your dolls. smile

I haven’t had one for years. I remember when I was a child some had lovely sugar icing flowers on them and were wrapped in cellophane. I usually treat myself to a little bag of Cadbury’s mini eggs.

My nan used to buy me those sort.
Cellophane tied with a little bit of curled ribbon at the top.

Yes smile My auntie used to give me and my sister those Easter eggs. They were too beautiful to eat really.

For me it has to be Cadbury’s creme eggs

The only choc I ever crave is a Cadbury’s Cream Egg 😋 ….. straight from the fridge 🤗

I don't like all of them but the boozy truffles are nice.

I get hotel chocolat quite regularly, which is a shame, because I really don't like them.

John Lewis have a Niederegger egg with small eggs in different flavours of chocolate marzipan. I’m hinting desperately but I know it’s falling on deaf ears. grin Second choice - one with Cadbury’s creme eggs in. Or just a box of Cadbury’s creme eggs would do nicely.

Well you just had to didn't you? 🤣🤣 I love Niederegger, only normally see or get them at Christmas, but now I'll be inconsolable if I can't have an Easter egg. I've told DH that Hotel Chocolate is fine as long as it's accompanied by Niederegger in some form 😊

No, I expect not.
I like a crunch in with my gloop though.

Maggiemaybe Fri 08-Mar-24 23:06:40

Not for me, there can’t, anyway.

Ooh they're a bit too much for me.
Too sweet and gloopy for someone (me!) who claims not to like chocolate that much.

Can there ever be too much gloop, MissA? grin

Those Italian ones sound heavenly, flappergirl!

Ooh I like the middle part of a terrys chocolate orange!
That big (hopefully!) wedge, with all the layers of segments that have joined together.

MissAdventure Fri 08-Mar-24 22:16:10

Oh that sounds just the ticket!!
It's quite lucky that they accidentally fell into your shopping.

Yes, Twirls....They should make Orange Swirls though!

Fox's are also making Orange Rocky Bars, at the moment. Some of them may have jumped into my weekly shop. I'm looking forward to those. I have a total weakness for orange flavoured chocolate, it would seem! grin

MissAdventure Fri 08-Mar-24 21:56:22

Oh twirls!!

MissAdventure Fri 08-Mar-24 21:56:02

I didn't know there were chocolate orange swirls!
Why wasn't I kept informed of this? grin

TheMostSuprisingGran Fri 08-Mar-24 21:48:22

The Chocolate Orange Twirl ones are lovely. It's a shame Orange Twirls are limited Edition.

MissAdventure Sat 02-Mar-24 17:35:06

It's all about the crunch.
I could just eat that, even though its rainy and horrible here.

Joseann Sat 02-Mar-24 17:33:27

Yes, the soft, but crunchy, texture was just right.

And lovely sunshine made it taste even better too!!

MissAdventure Sat 02-Mar-24 17:28:56

That looks delicious!

Joseann Sat 02-Mar-24 16:25:36

I had an ice cream today, (first one of the year), with smashed Mini Eggs in it! 😋

Any and all….last week, I bought 10 Easter Eggs for family as they were half price, I am considering getting sponsored to NOT EAT THEM….they are sooooo calling to me!

I admire your willpower. In a weak moment I ate my grandson's Easter Egg and have had to replace it. blush

Still got 8!

As long as they are chocolate I do not care what type it is.
