I melted last years build up of eggs and it was a disaster compared to the proper baking chocolate, whatever is in the new Cadbury’s stiff is almost impossible to melt

I had no trouble melting last year, I mix it with coconut oil after. I do agree the chocolate in general is much worse, and of course bars are smaller -just as retail & mulitpack are, I doubt anybody questions that. My quoted comment sparking more comments was about price per kilo, and just highlighting that the (crappy tiny horrible tasting) eggs are far cheaper then the (crappy tiny horrible tasting) chocolate bars you get nowadays! so people might want to buy for "non easter" uses as they are such good value relative to other bars today, I much prefer a egg than a bar.

This 2 bar egg was what I knew as "medium", it is from 1991 and 220g.



I think kit kats were about 45g then, reduced recently enough to about 40g. So about 130g of egg.

In supervalu it will be 2euro for 2 eggs with 2 bars and 200g of egg, 280g total. Some might have preferred the chocolate back then but if you could magic up that 1991 220g egg and have price it to what it was in punts, and adjust for inflation, then I would definitely be getting todays ones. They were stupid money back then.

Debenhams doing a 1/2 price sale on Easter Eggs at the moment. Good selection too especially on the larger eggs. Picked myself up a few!

Debenhams gone into administration so eggs might even get cheaper!!

Meduum eggs are 3 for €4.50 at Tesco!

The shelves were stuffed full in Debenhams (Blackrock) with large eggs this afternoon. No way they would have cleared them all.
They were down to €7 average but the Creme Egg (of which there were loaaaads) was the best bargain.
May be worth a trip on Monday if anyone's still craving (overly sweet and gooey) chocolate.
