deathrey Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 There isn't a lot going on at the moment, and I'm not sure if we have done this before? If not, what's your go to Easter Egg? What will you be eating this year? I love Mini Eggs so have stocked up on those for the next few months - not Mini Eggs Easter eggs, just actual Mini Eggs. I'm not a huge fan of Cadbury chocolate but love Mini Eggs so go figure. Aside from that, I've treated myself to a Hotel Chocolat Rocky Road Easter Egg
Members SuperBacon Posted March 23, 2021 Members Posted March 23, 2021 I have never understood why Easter Eggs aren't just massive versions of their brand. Imagine a massive Mini Egg or an egg that was one big Malteser. Unless I've missed that they HAVE done this, in which case ignore this post. One thing I've noticed is just how cheap they are these days.
Paid Members Nexus Posted March 23, 2021 Paid Members Posted March 23, 2021 The Mini Egg Chocolate Bar is surprisingly nice.
wordsfromlee Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 They used to do massive Kinder Eggs with a big toy inside like the regular sized ones, but I haven't seen them in years. I remember getting one as a kid and the toy inside was like a mini Action Man with a parachute which we would throw out of the upstairs window.
WyattSheepMask Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Years and years ago I had a Refreshers Egg that I don’t think they ever did again. White chocolate with mini Refreshers in the chocolate, it was fucking amazing. These days I’ll just have whatever, I’m not picky

One thing I've noticed is just how cheap they are these days. This has been a question I’ve asked my entire life. The Ferrero Rocher one makes a decent effort by having the nutty outer layer but imagine if it was filled with Nutella, wafer and giant nut! Then again at a tenner a pop for a regular one I shudder to think how much the dream egg would cost.

deathrey Posted March 23, 2021 Author Posted March 23, 2021 The crunchy shell is what I think makes Mini Eggs special (and why non-Cadbury ones are crap as the shell is always too thin). Whilst doing my online supermarket shop last week, I noticed that they have done a Terry's Chocolate Orange variation of the Mini Egg, something I need to try.

Not sure about them to be honest, will have to buy a bag to make sure.
deathrey Posted March 23, 2021 Author Posted March 23, 2021 Please report back, I'll be buying them next week I think.
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted March 23, 2021 Paid Members Posted March 23, 2021 My wife will get me an egg, around the £8-£10 mark which is normally a medium ish size egg with some bars chucked in. Last year it was a Reece’s Egg with 2 packs of peanut butter cups. They are con if you look at the weight of the egg itself. Your basically paying a premium for the box and a couple of bars. I’d much rather have 8-10 of the £1 Cadbury button eggs then 1 of those instead. also the ranking, for big brands, goes 1- Cadbury 2- Mars/Galaxy 3 - Nestle did not qualify - Kinnertons. Fuck that shit
deathrey Posted March 23, 2021 Author Posted March 23, 2021 Kinnertons are the absolute pits. Who let them make chocolate? Why does it leave a wierd sour taste in your mouth after you have it?
