Dairy Free Easter Egg Sandwich

Suzie — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 19:25:19 +0000

Something a little bit different and a bit quirky an Easter Egg sandwich from Hotel Chocolat.

Two, quite thick slabs of 70% cocoa dark chocolate studded with cocoa nibs for crunch and texture, are sandwiched between two elegantly decorated Easter Egg shell halves which are also dark chocolate.

The two halves are then placed back to back in a rather ingenious box that folds out from a triangle to flat, leaving the little sandwich egg standing proudly in the middle.

The chocolate is smooth with a good rich flavour, but is not too strong or over the top, the cocoa nibs give a good soft crunch to the chocolate really add to the dark chocolate flavour.

All of Hotel Chocolat’s Sandwich Eggs are packed with flavour, are beautifully designed and have a fun element to them. The Dairy Free Easter Egg Sandwich would make a great chocolate gift for adults and children – even with the cocoa nibs.

£7.00, 100g.

Labelled: Vegetarian, Nut Free, Gluten Free, Alcohol Free, Dairy Free and Vegan.

Suzie — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 15:42:38 +0000

Twelve of the legendary Champagne flavoured Booja Booja organic truffles in a 6” / 15cm ornamental egg.

The Booja Booja Champagne Truffle Easter Egg is proving extremely popular, not just with truffles lovers but with chocolate retailers too, this gift egg is available on more sites than any other Easter eggs I have come across.

So I took a very scientific approach in selecting whose egg to add to my site, I worked out the mean price with delivery added average spend of customers, factored in any current offers and deals on chocolate Easter eggs – and then chose the one with the prettiest picture!

I have listed all the prices at the different online stores, there is not that much difference in price – but if you look at the egg on the different sites you can get an ideal of the varying designs of the Booja Booja Champagne Truffle Eggs. You won’t actually get the egg design shown, but the one you do buy will be just as elegant and beautiful.

£19.99 at Natural Collection – shows two intricacy designed eggs, mainly in gold.
£19.99 at ethicalsuperstore – a stunning bright red egg is pictured.
£20.00 at John Lewis – picture above.

I know the last egg is more expensive than the others, but if you use the Chocolate Trading Company discount code and buy other chocolates it works out cheaper than other sites.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I do love Thorntons fudge, especially the vanilla and this luxury Easter egg has bits of fudge in the shell of the egg!

This milk chocolate eggs also comes with two bags of Thorntons vanilla fudge as well, so if you know anyone that loves fudge the “Love Fudge” Easter egg would be perfect.

The Easter egg comes in a rather nicely designed clear box, so you can see the Easter egg inside, with an orange, brown and beige pattern on it. You can also have a message iced onto the egg; see the Thorntons site for more details.

£12.00 for 635g milk chocolate Easter egg, I presume the weight includes the bags of fudge.

Labelled: Vegetarian and Gluten Free.
