Chococo Mini Dorset Duck Eggs

Suzie — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 07:11:59 +0000

Six foil wrapped mini chocolate duck eggs handmade in Purbeck, Dorset, presented in a choice of brightly coloured real egg boxes.

The eggs are about the size of a standard chicken egg and weigh 30g each.

Cast in milk chocolate the adorable eggs have a second coating of chocolate on top, this not only gives the outside of the eggs a swirling marbled pattern, but also extra texture. As you bite through the chocolate you have the crisper crunch of the outer layer along with the snap of the milk chocolate shell – subtle but very adds to the enjoyment.

Hidden inside each of the Chococo mini Dorset duck eggs is a, very cute, solid chocolate duck in a selection of white, dark and milk chocolate. These chunky chocolates are “studded” to the inside and almost fill one half of the shell.

Dark chocolate duckling: 73% cocoa, good dark chocolate flavour without being too over powering or acidic, with a long satisfying aftertaste.
Milk chocolate mini duck: smooth 41% cocoa chocolate with rich cocoa flavours.
White chocolate duckling: smooth and creamy without being over sweet, a proper good quality white chocolate. 34% cocoa butter, 28% milk solids.

I personally think these would make wonderful alternative, to a standard Easter egg, for kids. Not only do you have a choice of a pink and blue box, but also you can get them in dark chocolate version, exactly the same eggs, the same choices and sizes – but dairy free! So if you have one child who is dairy intolerant and one who isn’t they can have almost the same chocolate for Easter.

Fun and very appealing quality chocolate, which has been well designed and executed – a firm favourite of mine!

£11.95, 180g.

Cadbury Treasure Eggs

Suzie — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 08:04:37 +0000

Cadbury Treasure Eggs, foil wrapped hollow eggs with two filled mini chocolate eggs inside.

Inside each egg is the “treasure”, two chocolate mini eggs; the Dairy Milk egg as two solid eggs inside, the Caramel egg two mini Caramel eggs and the Mini Eggs egg two large mini eggs – large compared to the Mini Eggs in a bag.

The eggs inside are quite small, less than half the size of a Cadbury Creme Egg, but not too disappointing given how cheap they are.

These eggs, from Cadbury Gifts Direct, are sold in bulk – eight treasure egg in a tray. That works out at £1.85 per Easter Egg, quite economical really, especially if you are buying a lot. You can also buy them in two supermarkets that I know of; Tesco and Asda, you can compare the prices on mysupermarket.

Each egg is approximately 135mm tall and 80mm wide, so they are a good size for Easter Egg Hunts or treats for kids.

£14.80, eight cheap Easter eggs in bulk, 142g each.

Labelled: Vegetarian and Gluten Free.

Easter Mini Eggs Chocolate Box

Suzie — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:42:50 +0000

Fifteen, Hotel Chocolat, filled chocolate mini eggs presented as a selection box, a great alternative to an Easter egg or as a gift to share.

The luxury mini eggs have crisp outer shells made of dark, white and milk chocolate, and are filled with a gorgeous selection of smooth centres, just like egg-shaped chocolate truffles.

On the ends of the eggs are bright dots of colour, chocolate coloured with natural colouring, which correspond to the menu card tucked into the back of the box.

The Easter H-box has fifteen of the cute little eggs, in seven different flavours:

Dark Praline: A dark chocolate shell, that has a very satisfying snap when you bite into it, filled with a well-flavoured hazelnut praline enhanced by the 70% cocoa chocolate.
Advocaat Truffle: Milk chocolate ganache with a splash of Advocaat liqueur, which keep the smooth centre relaxed and adds a subtle “egg custard” flavour.
Amaretto Truffle: An elegant milk chocolate and cream ganache with a good dash of Amaretto, encased in a mellow milk shell.
Caramel Egg: Soft, mellow and extremely comforting runny caramel encased in a creamy milk chocolate shell and finished with an all-natural yellow dot.
Berry Mousse: A white chocolate whipped mousse, in a white chocolate shell, with raspberries and strawberries, which gives the mousse a fresh flavour and a wonderful texture.
Banana Split: A rich and sticky banana butter caramel, which tastes just like real caramelised bananas, in a 40% cocoa milk chocolate shell.
Milk Praline: A crisp milk chocolate egg shell with an incredibly smooth milk chocolate and hazelnut praline, simple but delicious.

You get two of each flavour and three of one, because of the odd number in the box. I had three of the Milk Praline eggs, which I was very happy about as they are one of my favourites, along with the Banana Split, Dark Praline and Berry Mousse.

All of the eggs are very moreish, but you can get refills! Each of the flavours are available in 100g pots – but only from the shops, you can find your nearest Hotel Chocolat shop on their website – www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/stores.

Ideal for Easter – or a treat!

£11.00, 185g.

Mr Potato Head Chocolate Easter Egg

Suzie — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:49:21 +0000

Well he is actually called Chef Marshall Easter Egg Head or “Make Your Own Easter Egg”, but either way it is Mr Potato Head as an Easter egg.

This has been hugely popular over the past few last years, I know at least four of my friends bought them for their children – well that’s what they said, I have a sneaking suspicion they bought them to play with too. And this year he has had a make over.

A new design for this year, the Chef Marshall Easter Egg Head is a milk chocolate egg that comes with a moustache, nice, eyes and big eyes to stick on with the “chocolate goo”, that you warm up in warm water.

I think the Chef Marshall / Mr Potato Head egg is made especially for John Lewis as I have not seen him anywhere else; you can buy it online from the Easter Gifts & Food section of their website.

300g of fun milk chocolate for £12.00.

Diabetic Easter Egg Thorntons No Added Sugar

Suzie — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:25:15 +0000

The Thorntons “No Added Sugar” Diabetic Easter Egg comes with a bag of diabetic chocolate mini eggs in foil and Happy Easter engraved into the chocolate on the front. The style and design of the Easter egg box means this egg can be for all age ranges.

£6.50 225g of milk chocolate, Easter egg and diabetic mini eggs.

Labelled: Diabetic, Vegetarian and Gluten Free.

Thorntons also have a rather large diabetic chocolate range: Thorntons No Added Sugar Chocolate Collection

Now, there is some debate about diabetic Easter eggs, well diabetic chocolate in general. Some say there is no need for diabetic chocolate, as limiting the amount of chocolate consumed has the same effect. The problem seems to be two fold; firstly that sugar in diabetic chocolate is replaced with nutritive sweeteners, in this case polyols. Guidelines state that you should have no more than 20g per day, some diabetic chocolate contains a lot more – I don’t know the exact amount in the Thorntons Diabetic Egg and secondly that people assume that items labelled ‘diabetic’ will be suitable for all diabetics and provide some benefit.

Whilst I totally agree that it can be confusing and unclear as to what you can and cannot eat as a diabetic and the term used as a label can be misleading, the range is now called “No Added Sugar Diabetic”. All the offered alternatives to diabetic chocolate seem to be small amounts of high cocoa content dark chocolate; my problem is that not everyone likes dark chocolate.

So if you do decide to treat yourself to a Thorntons Diabetic Easter Egg or buy one for someone please read the label and if you don’t understand it ask someone who does.

Its not technically an Easter egg as it’s not specifically made for Easter – but that’s just splitting hairs.

Green & Black’s Organic 70% Dark Chocolate Easter Egg

Suzie — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:25:17 +0000

There is something special about Green & Black’s 70% dark chocolate; rich dark taste, a beautifully smooth texture and a deep colour to the chocolate.

Organically produced high-quality bittersweet dark chocolate, crafted into a thick shelled Easter egg. A very popular egg, I always have one of these at Easter – even if I buy it myself. And it has my personal recommendation for anyone wanting to try dark chocolate, as it is not too bitter.

Also availible as part of the Dark Easter Eggs Collection, this is the egg (without the chocolate bars) in the Organic Thick-Shelled Dark Chocolate Cherry & Ginger Egg.

Like the Booja Booja egg gifts choose the design each one is unique – but you will always be delighted. But there is an extra twist, it’s not just a lucky dip with the design but the type and combination of chocolate too.

Thorntons – Dairy Free Dark Chocolate Egg

Suzie — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 10:11:06 +0000

This dairy free Easter egg is one of two eggs exclusively available online, and only from the Thorntons site, the other is a Fair Trade egg – with the same packaging but in gold foil.

The smart but universal presentation of green foil and a ribbon tied bag means this dark chocolate Easter egg is visually suitable for all ages.

This is more than just a Dairy Free dark chocolate Easter egg, “It has been made under strictly controlled conditions to prevent any cross contamination from nuts, dairy, egg and gluten.” quoted from Thorntons website.

I have taken that to mean that it is suitable for vegans and people with some food intolerances and food allergies;

Vegan, as it is dairy free and egg free.
Dairy Free, suitable for anyone with lactose intolerance.
Nut Free, for anyone with nut allergies.
Egg free, for anyone with egg allergies.
Gluten Free, suitable for anyone with a wheat allergy or Celiac/Coeliac disease.

However as the egg is not specifically labelled as any of the above, that does mean there is no guarantee. As always, it is always best to check.

Allergy UK have a useful website with information on allergies and food intolerance.

I have to say considering the “strictly controlled conditions” this egg was made in, at only £6.50 it seems rather good value for money, especially when you consider the difference in price of organic and non-organic food.

£6.50, 120g of dark dairy free chocolate.

Labelled: Vegetarian, Dairy Free and Gluten Free.

Fair Trade, vegan Easter egg with brazil nuts, covered in dark chocolate.

Smooth rich, 70% dark Ghanaian chocolate Easter egg 100g and 80g of Brazil Nuts covered in the same dark chocolate by Divine,

Presented in a Chic black and gold box, covered in the traditional West African Adinkra symbols, this is an ideal gift egg.

This egg is labelled vegetarian on some sites and vegan on others, so I contacted Divine and they say this egg is a possible choice for vegans, but they cannot guarantee these products are totally dairy free, as milk is used elsewhere in the factory. I have labelled it vegan, so that it can be found on my site and to give you some more choice.

Hotel Chocolat – Rocky Road to Caramellow Chocolate Easter Egg

An absolutely huge egg! The Rocky Road to Caramellow is an extra large Easter egg with a selection of chocolates, from the Hotel Chocolat range, which compliment the egg flavours.

These immense Easter eggs, two are available, measure 285mm tall (that’s an impressive eleven inches, in old money) and are called Ostrich Easters eggs because they are the size and weight of Ostrich eggs, if not bigger!

Made up from two chucky shells and two layers of chocolates, this enormous egg and chocolate gifts is ideal for a family or a rather sumptuous gift for one.

I am a big fan of the Hotel Chocolat milk chocolate and caramel combination, really smooth and mellow. I have not tasted all of the other flavour combinations, but this collection would be the perfect way to.

Stylishly presented “nesting” in a box of soft paper twirls – this really is a chocolate Easter egg to impress.

£50.00 – Approximately 1.4kg of chocolate.

This is a really fun idea for an Easter egg, a full sized football made from chocolate!

Great for any football fan of all ages, the football is hollow and made from a huge 1kg of Cadburys milk chocolate.

Just to be clear – it’s the same size as a football not the same size as the picture and it’s not specifically made for Easter, so it can also be given as a unique gift for other occasions.

You can also get, from the Cadburys site, a chocolate football and beer gift set – for the “kid at heart”.
