Have you got an Easter Egg ?

We have been firm this year and decided not to buy eggs for the adults. However I went to an Easter celebration at an Italian deli and bought myself a proper Italian egg in all its pretty wrapping paper.

I’ve received one Easter egg from a friend and
it’s a favourite of mine - Ferrero Rocher (nutty choc shell).
I bought one for DH (one of his favourites)
a Toblerone Egg.

I’m the Easter bunny for our family and always buy for our three offspring and their partners, the six grandsons, DH and myself. I’ve chosen a white chocolate creme egg one for me this year, then DH and I will have an extra popping candy one to share as I decided it was too big for the littlest grandson and bought him a chocolate bunny instead. I don’t eat much sweet stuff but am looking forward to indulging this weekend.

We went supermarket weekly shopping this morning and bought a small Wispa one for me and a small Crunchie one for DH. I think the Easter egg chocolate has a better flavour than chocolate bars.

No, not bothered, but ~I adore toasted hot cross buns much more.

I don't buy them for DGC, as they have plenty from other sources big time

in my family its always been parent and grandparents buying for children not the other way around.

It's a shared lunch at Quakers on Sunday and I'm just hoping that G makes one of his fab cakes....

There are two small Easter eggs each here, added to the weekly grocery order so not a gift. There is also a large box of Ferraro Rocher which we love. I usually have dark chocolate but make an exception for Easter. Nothing like an Easter egg.

Family-wise the youngest has a small egg and a book, the older two a medium sized egg each and that’s it, we no longer buy for the adults.

Have you tried a Ferrero Rocher Easter egg cornergran?
The shell is quite a treat.

Well, having seen my username, need you ask..?

Easter bunny here too. I’ve bought a Galaxy egg for SinL2 and an M&S pistachio offering for DD2. DD1 and her DH are getting alcohol instead, at their request. My DGSs will get (too many) chocolate eggs from various sources, so I persuaded them to have a bag of mini eggs from me, with a voucher from Smyth’s Toyshop.

I bought myself a Thornton Easter egg when doing my supermarket shop. I’ve been poorly and decided I need a treat.

We don’t buy many Easter eggs. We give the Grandchildren a small money gift so they have some spending money whilst they are out and about.
I may buy a small one for DH but he knows not to buy me one. I only like rather expensive chocolate and being Type2 diabetic , to have one in the house would be too much of a temptation, I’d want to eat it all at once.
I do have a small Easter display on the hall table and there is a pretty bowl with small wrapped chocolate eggs the anyone can help themselves from.

Hope you're feeling better Iam; enjoy your treat.

You bet I have an Easter egg! I bought one for me, DP and for all close family, that way I get one I like.
I have to work today and Sunday but will save it for Monday, a day off when I can eat it while reading a good book in the evening.
During the day I will be hosting family and cooking.😃

Nothing cheers you up more than chocs and flowers 💐

I’m at my sons atm, cat sitting, he’s left me an Easter egg, and I’ve already eaten it, delicious 😀

I love a beautiful egg and remember saving up for them for my parents when I was a girl. Those were something to behold. Really fabulous with netting and velvet flowers or gorgeous piping...

Have actually sent 3 lovely eggs at riduculous expense to the Philippines for my son and family and have bought and wrapped four other beautiful eggs for the "Easter Rabbit" to be generous and jolly with my adult children - and seven golden rabbits for our grandchildren - two dark four milk and one white.
...like M0nica I don't think The Rabbit will miss me out!


I love this little moment of kindness, warmth and generosity- even though I'm not a chocolate fan!

Yes a small one from daughter and the extra one bought by mistake😉 for Gt Grands I might as well eat wouldn't want to waste it 😂

My lovely mother-in-law always gave a book voucher to her great grandchildren.
I wondered if I should have done that on her behalf this year as she has sadly died.
...

I don’t know, we only give Easter Eggs on Easter Day.

Not bring much of a chocolate fan I’ve not had one for at least 40 years. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve bought one for others. Older GCs have had sweet things rationed and don’t have a sweet tooth. Of the younger 2 one would live on only sweet snacks if she could; the other doesn’t have a sweet tooth. Perhaps we should exchange cheese instead 😂

Ha ha yes, I'd be happy to accept cheese in place of chocolate, or if I'm really truthful..AS WELL !!!

Good for you, hope you enjoy it and feel better soon.

Giggle...hard to resist, and you know, you've done a public service really, preventing the cat from getting it etc

No Easter eggs but my husband bought me some nougat covered in dark chocolate which I much prefer. I invariably find eggs have inferior chocolate and I am disappointed in them.

Will find out tomorrow 🐥 🐇
