So, got my OH his Easter Egg today from The Chocolate Shop in The English Market here in Cork City.. they make em up as you like.. so I got him a milk choc shell, stuffed with a variety of mint chocolates.. (he loves mint).. tis nicely done - must upload a pic..

I know its early but missed out last year as didn't order on time..

Whats on everyone's easter egg wish list? He usually gets me Lindt but would like to hint at something different.. ;);) maybe one from The Chocolate Shop he he..

I tried Aldis triple pack of their ripple eggs, they're small (they're flat) but delicious. The salted caramel was very yummy so picked up one of the large size of that egg and keeping it for actual Easter!

I got one of these in Tesco:

Stupidly expensive for what it is, but decided this is my egg this year :P

I haven't been to Lidl in ages, but they usually do really quirky ones that are good value. I had one before with jellies embedded in the shell! And another one with little fudge pieces in the shell. So might check them out too...

We've postponed our wedding a second time until later in the year, so have decided to get fat for Easter!

My OH doesn’t really care, he just wants the most enormous egg. Think it’s something to do with growing up in Germany where they don’t tend to have Easter eggs as we know them, more mini-eggs and chocolate rabbits so the giant ones are somewhat of a novelty for him.

I would like a nice dark chocolate one. Don’t have a particular one in mind.

ha ha ha - enjoy..

sorry to hear about your wedding.. I know that there are worse problems due to the virus but my heart went out to couples who have been affected.. the stress of planning a wedding, never mind a pandemic on top of it..

you will have to have two wedding anniversaries when the big day finally happens.. one of the initial date and then the real one - happy days

Last year, living in the UK, I discovered a Bounty Easter egg that had coconut pieces embedded in the shell. It was TO DIE FOR, but hard to get. I don’t think it is even sold over here

I think that’s my dream egg, but I’m liking the sound of The Chocolate Shop so might pop in there some day and see what it’s about.

Actually our "new" (3rd) date is the same date we originally planned to get married last year! So fingers, toes and tongues crossed that we'll actually go ahead this time and get to keep our original anniversary date

But back to the eggs... I love anything that has extra bits embedded in the chocolate shell! Lily O'Briens are good for that too.. had one before with bits of marshmallow in the shell!

Yeah normally I get a few... One from himself, my parents, his parents and maybe buy one or two for myself. But we won't see anybody to exchange Easter eggs this year and myself and himself do the shopping together, so there's no mystery there... So I'm just buying myself ALL the eggs this year :P

Just a Cadbury Crème Egg would be wonderful...Or even... two! Nearer the time...
