Your best ever Easter egg?

[Dave 123]

in the spirit of premature religious/commercial threads what was your best ever Easter egg?

As a kid I always loved a Smarties egg. I'd always endeavour to unwrap the foil without ripping it, then smooth it out with my finger until there wasn't a wrinkle in it.
I'd love the smell of the chocolate and the snap of it too.

At Christmas I used to (and still do) get a big tube of Smarties. As a kid I'd divide them into their separate colours (a shrink would have a field day!) before eating them.

My parents although comfortable off were miserly as well, my memories are of the most disgusting tasting cheap horrible chocolate ever. I have made up for it since.

Cadbury’s buttons egg is my favourite
Bye the way, separating the colours is perfectly normal

What you mean is you did it as well!!

Both parents worked at "Macks"(Macintosh's), so we'd get two-three eggs and the rest in sweets. 4lb of Quality Street for under a £1!

My parents never bought me an easter egg. Instead on Easter Sunday morning my dad would take me and my brother to the local newsagent and we could choose whatever sweets we wanted to the value of the egg he might have bought. We certainly got a lot more chocolate that way.

Oh, and I always opened up the packet of Opel Fruits and piled them up by colour. Then i would eat thrm in strict order, all the yellows, the greens, oranges and finally the reds.

My dad worked for Cadbury's so we always did alright at Easter (and Christmas too!) with orders shipped up from the staff shop at Bournville.
Mind you, Easter eggs haven't been the same since they stopped putting the sweets inside the egg.

Hotel Chocolat last year. Properly thick chocolate, just like you think it should be when you're a kid, but are disappointed to find out it isn't!

Egg plant is winding down production for next year.

Sweets might cause choking, "Choking Hazard" inside the egg, don't attempt to eat in one go. Who'd try that?

Thought you had limited neck movement, going with peeled grapes as they are smaller?
