WOO
Its almost Easter (is it?)
The shops are selling the eggs. Are we allowed to discuss the eggs and the stuffs now?

Things I've had so far:

- a fair few creme eggs (always good)
- a cadbury caramel egg (really nice)
- M&S foam bunnies and chicks (OMG 10/10 there. Raspberry foam bunnies and banana foam chicks)
- A ton of mini eggs

Things I've seen which I will get:

- Chocolate lollies in the shape of a fried egg (CUTE)
- more foam chicks and bunnies

Easter chocolate I've eaten so far this year

A handful of cadbury mini eggs
1 milky bar animal, can't remember whether it was
2 creme eggs
More malteaser bunnies than I care to count

- Oh i forgot about those bunnies
  
  Have you had the mini ones? they're good
  
  meowington @Tillance | 19 Feb '13, 16:11 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - yeah, they're not as mini as i thought they would be
    
    but they're individually wrapped, which is good because it stops me from eating too many. Even though you only get five in a pack.
    I wish they'd bring out an all year bar or something with the filling in. I think they might be my favourite chocolate thing.

I've eaten so many mini eggs :(

I've already had to stop myself buying a couple of bags every time i go shopping. Think this is the time of year I put the most weight on, just too moreish

I predict this thread will get boring

because people will start complaining about cheapo chocolate like they do about advent calendars. This really is quite a boring complaint, cheapo chocolate is just like fancy chocolate, but not as nice but that's ok coz it's still chocolate AND it's cheaper

andyvine | 19 Feb '13, 16:15 | X | ^ This | Reply
- I don't think cheap chocolate is ok.

- Expensive chocolate is generally a bit rank
  
  Far too rich and/or bitter.
  
  I like my chocolate cheap and sweet. Dairy Milk or Milka plz.

The fact that it's even lent seems to have passed me by this year

Mainly because on ash wednesday I was too busy drinking and rampaging about the fair city of edinburgh.
Wow, that means it's easter 5 weeks on sunday. I might get a creme egg icecream lolly from the postoffice when i go to buy my lottery ticket in a minute.

I REALLY love mini eggs.

Will you not be able to get some this year?

I eat chocolate every day without fail. Its unusual if I don't eat chocolate. I've eaten 3 different chocolate things already today and its only 11am.

  - I always wanted one but never got one
    
    Last year I got an amazing extra thick Hotel Chocolat egg. It had really boozy truffles in the middle. it was amazing.

    - That does sound amazing! I'm not sure which I'd prefer though...
      
      Imagine a world with an egg that contained a giant toy AND boozy truffles. I'd want to go to there.

  I've been really good with saying away from chocolate so far this year.
  I'm going to treat myself to one of these for Easter

- I WANT A FUCKING MINI EGGS EGG
  
  ASDA's only seem to have Wispa ones though. Fuck that for a game.
  
  They do have some very nice (and expensive) looking Thornton's eggs that are like lemon meringue flavour and stuff like that.

- I was in Austria last week
  
  Decided to try some Milka things that looked a tiny bit like mini eggs. Opened them to find that they were exactly the same as mini eggs, just under a different brand. True story.

  Have you seen the Walnut Whip style Easter eggs - how disappointing! It looks like it should be full of whip, but it contains 4 samll walnut whips!
  
  I can't believe there wasn't someone in that meeting to say 'NO!'.
  
  Why the feck couldn't they just fill it with whip? Why is that so hard? And if it is hard, why pick the walnut whip to turn into an easter egg? There isn't a person in the world who won't be expecting whip...

  - Sounds like the big Lindt eggs we had at work [Asda] for Christmas
    
    It was fairly obvious to most that it was a plastic egg filled with the little Lindt balls.
    
    A surprising number of people (i.e, more than 0) asked/thought it was just one massive Lindt chocolate :/
