Who still wants an Easter Egg?

I would never have thought of putting chocolate into the fridge/freezer. Must give it a go!

I've made it very plain to DH that I would like an Easter Egg. I've already bought him one, as we both love chocolate. I've been informed that the desired item has been purchased.

I detest cadburys creme eggs. Ther are obscenly sweet. Very little chocolate and just full of a very thick sugar syrup, like a very wet icing really.
I did put away a large bar of Lindt dark hazlenut chocolate.
The cost of an empty eggshell of chocolate compared with the amount in a
bar is ridiculous.
The manufacturers of easter eggs must be laughing at us all the way to the bank.
They are selling small amounts of chocolate and lots of cardboard.

An 850grm bar of Cadburys dairy milk costs £10.
A 515 grm Cadbury dairy milk easter egg cost £15.50.

When we were about 8 years old, Mum said we could buy bars of choc instead of an Easter Egg,so we had a great time spending the same money on lots of different chocs, Mars Bars, Tiffin , Five Boys, etc. But on Easter Sunday..... It just wasn't the same as an Egg.We were and never did it again.

Not this year - avoiding naughty stuff after seeing a reflection of myself in a swimsuit..... I've just looked at the alternative eggs and did a double take on the bunny and carrot one - for a second I thought it was something else, but I am still jet lagged
I used to buy eggs for the children and DH but I don't remember him ever buying one for me - so I bought my own. My Dad used to give us tights for some extraordinary reason . I was chatting to a lady in Asda yesterday, as you do, and she said her Dad did the same

oh naughty Marmight I have an inkling as to what you thought[ as there is just a bunny bum poking out of the grass.]
viewers of a nervous disposition may want to look away.

I love chocolate eggs too, a thorntons egg for me yum.

As with Christmas presents we gave up the eggs when the children were small as we just couldn't afford to splash out on everyone. Later I used to buy a box of Thornton's Continental Assortment for the DH and I to share but I now make Florentines instead. We have agreed that this year we will forgo the bought chocolates until after Easter and then Hoover up the chocolate bargains in the knock downs. Waitrose always have some lovely yellow stickered goodies. I once got ten strips of Lindt bunnies down from £2.79 a strip to ten pence a strip of five. Bargainous!

I love chocolate any time of the year. My children are older but they still have a Easter egg. My GD is only 7 months so I will be buying her some clothes but next year I bet she will want a Easter egg.

Although I do not fancy chocolate as much as I used to, I still adore an Easter Egg. My favourite part is the bit near the base which is always thicker than the rest of the egg.
I wish that they would put the extra sweets back INSIDE the egg as they did years ago. There was something special about opening the egg to find these 'hidden treasures'.

Maltesers or smartie egg please.I

Reese's chocolate peanut butter eggs have called my name ever since they started making them. Most years I can avoid them. It's hard to resist when you see them marked so cheap after Easter.

We can have chocolate any time of the year so it doesn't really affect us other than we might get a box of cadbury's cream eggs in when they are on offer. I'm a collector so DH tends to let me purchase a coveted item on occasions like Valentine's, Easter, Birthday's and Christmas rather than the norm. I send money to the kids and grandkids though, there's so many choices in eggs I don't know what to get for them.

I do not have a sweet tooth and do not particularly like chocolate, but I would be lost without my annual dose of chocolate every Easter.

We were so pleased that our youngest two grandmonsters, 4 and 5, have moved back to Britain (with their parents) and we were looking forward to doing an Easter egg hunt. The parents are very politically and dietary correct so DH asked if it would be OK. The answer was only 1 small egg, per child, not per relative, and only from Freetrade chocolate.

As that would be a very short egg hunt we won't bother. Some people have a knack of sucking the fun out of every occasion. Poor little mites. I think it might be a result of DH buying them fish fingers, chips and peas when he was out with them last week baby sitting. Oh my!

anniegran, could you not buy some of those plastic egg shells and fill them with little gifts? Would be fun for the children to hunt and find, and satisfy the parents' strictures.

Actually, I was with the family one year and we did this for an Easter children's party. It was great fun, and no chocolate was involved

Yes please, dark chocolate, preferably mint. The bigger the better! To hell with calories.

We have a tradition of a secret Easter Bunny for the adults, so each adult in the family gets one egg. The children get loads and need help with disposing of them

My husband has never bought me an Easter Egg. I had a friend who used to send me eggs from Hotel Chocolat and they were wonderful. I picked up my grandchildren from school yesterday and every child had been given a Cadburys egg. it took some effort to stop them eating them in the car on the way home!

Cadbury Creme Eggs.... Shudder.Does anyone apart from children actually like them?Discuss!

I still like 'em.

And I want my Easter Eggs.

More than one?

Yes! At least six four, depending on size.

Considering the Ocado bags stuffed full of 'em in the bottom of my spare wardrobe, they'd better be forthcoming.

Me too. Lots. And Cadbury Creme Eggs. Basically anything covers in chocolate...and lots of it.

We bought my GD (18) and her bf a buttons egg each and left them on the table of our apartment we're letting them stay in this weekend as a surprise so bought an extra one 'just in case' - of course it lasted just until we got home Last night my husband came in from work and one of the girls in his office had bought everyone an egg which was such a nice thought. He cracked that open last night and my half is mostly still in tact .......
