Hotel Chocolat has rolled out their Easter treats!
Check out the Engraved Eggs (pictured above) in milk or dark. I got to try the milk and these are not the flimsy hollow chocolates you get at the store – these eggs are thick, delicious chocolate!
Also make sure you check out the Eggsibitionist Eggs and Dark Fix Eggs, thick chocolate shells stuffed with “a dozen beautiful chocolate eggs with decadent praline and velvety ganache fillings.”
I would love to wake up and find one of those in my basket!

The Myth of the Shrinking Egg

Easter has come and gone but there is one rumour that still persists. The Cadbury Creme Egg that is sold every year between January and Easter is supposedly getting smaller. Is this true? Well, maybe it depends on where you live. If you visit Cadbury’s UK website, you’ll see the question asked. Their answer is that it is not getting smaller, you are only growing up! However, in the US, the egg is 15% smaller this year. While it used to be 1.38 ounces, it is now only 1.2 ounces. That is, however, 171.6 calories of creme egg.
