7 Easter egg-centrics to eat on the big day
Plain eggs are out, novelty chocolate is in. We're after a bit more pizazz. Popping candy? Shaped like a sandwich? Take your pick with these 7 alternative Easter eggs.
Shower not a grower
Vegans, rejoice! Your prayers for a novelty egg shaped like a suggestive vegetable have been answered. What, that wasn’t a prayer? Huh, you could have fooled M&S. It’s certainly a talking point, and as a BBC Good Food Easter Taste Awards winner, this Plant Kitchen aubergine makes an excellent choice for vegan chocolate.
£6
Super Sarnie
Do you normally end up regretting the amount of sweets you eat on Easter Sunday? How about an egg sandwich instead! Just, er, don’t look too closely at this particular Hotel Chocolat Egg Sandwich. Milk chocolate bread, white chocolate egg white, and caramel yolk. Jamie Oliver, turn away now.
£10
Feeling Blue
One for the savoury-toothed among us. The Blacksticks Blue Cheese Easter Egg is exactly what it sounds like: a large egg made out of blue cheese, crying out to be spread on a cracker. Possibly not one to gift the kids, unless your children have impressively adventurous palates….
£15
Avocado's & Don'ts
t’s green, so it’s healthy, right? A dinky size compared to your standard Easter Egg, Waitrose’s Triple Avocado Filled Eggs are in actual fact dark chocolate filled with caramel, with a crunchy dark chocolate “stone”.
£5
BUZZING ABOUT IT
Weighing a whopping 1.05kg, this giant beehive from The Chocolate Libertine is made out of caramelised white chocolate and filled with honeycomb nuggets. Just reading those words is enough to make your teeth ache, but we’ve never been ones to turn down a ferocious sugar high.
£69.95
Sunny Side Up
Like the sound of the egg sandwich above, but not eating carbs right now? Choconchoc have you sorted with this giant fried egg. Um, it is made entirely out of white chocolate though. That’s not an issue, right?
£15
Pop goes the…Easter bunny?
Holdsworth are bringing a bit of showmanship to your Easter with this popping candy Easter Egg. As well as the strawberry-flavoured milk and white chocolate popping candy egg, it also comes with a selection of milk, dark, pink strawberry & Marc de Champagne truffles. And with more popping candy in them, too! Willy Wonka would be proud.
