Favourite Easter Egg

[Bohemian Toffee]

None.

I still haven't recovered from the trauma as a 6 year old, when I had my first Easter egg. It sat on the mantle piece in its shiny silveryness for weeks during lent and I couldn't wait. Then Easter Sunday came and I picked it up - the effing thing was HOLLOW.

After the tears dried up I remember negotiating with mum that in future if she could just spend the equivalent amount of money on chocolate bars then that would be a favourable solution going forward.

It was my first lesson in appearances being deceptive and how the world is out to scam you with false images and advertising.

I remember begging my mum to buy me a Crunchie, fully expecting the thing to explode when I unwrapped it.

I was 22.

Chocolate orange egg because it tastes of chocolate orange.......now all they need to do is make the white chocolate version and the world will be perfect.....

...... though I have recently discovered white chocolate twix and white chocolate chunky kitkat (spotted the theme yet), and they would be acceptable replacements!

My son told me the other day that Easter Eggs symbolise the stone in front of Jesus's tomb. I always thought the egg represented new life and all that jazz!

Personally, I eat very little chocolate so I just take the chocolate bar or whatever that comes with it and give the egg to someone else.

Rookie mistake Phil, the egg is the best part! Give the bars away man, you can get them any time of year!

The missus bought me a really posh one a few years back, Green and Black or Hotel Chocolate, summat like that. Obviously I didn't say I'd have preferred a Smarties one, but I thought it, in me brain.

My kids’ Easter chocky tastes ten times better than the stuff intended for me when I was a kid. Turns out thievery and betrayal, while not ideal, are delicious.
