Easter Eggs?
 
What does everyone do for Easter Eggs as the chocolate is vile here? Plus they don't have very imaginatively themed eggs do they?

McDonald's creme egg mcflurry is probably as close as I'll get to buying easter eggs this year.

You're right though the chocolate they use in the eggs is vile.

I like the ones in mugs as they are useful as they are delicious. :thumbup:

Bought a lovely bag of 40 belgian chocolate hollow eggs in Costco a few weeks ago. They were about the size of those silly Kindle eggs, and cost about $11.

I'm not sure how it happened - there don't seem to be any left in the cupboard now.

(I think they are all hidden in our stomachs - I don't make a very good Easter Bunny now, do I?) :lol:

I've seen those Lindt bunnies in the shops who usually boast about how world class their chocolate is so can't imagine they allow their name to be soiled by using shite chocolate. Tried them in the UK and they are very more-ish so are they not equally as good here?

As usual I'll be waging war against the Liiliputians next door. Opening the pointy end is so small minded.

You bastard! Just the other day I opened 3 lovely soft boiled peace fruit and marveled at the grace and economy of effort I achieved by slicing at the narrow end. I‘ll never :thumbup:look at you the same, Novocastrian.

I've seen a few shops selling proper Aero and Smarties easter eggs but that's about all.

Thanks. I was hoping to get a Rasta Mouse and Da Easy Crew themed egg. :)

I caved in and popped to the local British shop for some "quality" (but slightly expensive) British eggs. :eek:

Caved and bought one at the weekend - not so much of an egg, more like a chocolate shaped cat with a bow in its hair.

Troughed it down and felt sick. That NEVER used to happen in the UK :frown:

As a kid I used to get Lindt (sp?) chocolate bunnies in a tray, about 10 in the box.
