For years upon years, human beings have celebrated Easter by indulging into the decadences of chocolate. Now, the 21st century has landed and we haven’t changed our traditions, but what is changing is the crazy confectioneries we know as Easter egg.
In this article we are going to run down the top 5 extravagant eggs that are stacking the shelves this holiday and my goodness, have we got some cracking ones (excuse the pun).
Number 5…
Kicking off our eggstravaganza, we have Thornton’s scrumptious Eton Mess mash up. A delicate combination of a white chocolate shell, rippled gently with raspberry only to be glued by heartfelt meringue pieces. One to be indulged slowly, the Thornton’s sculpture will tickle your taste buds at an average £10 and by the looks of it, with all its luxury, it’s worth it.
Number 4…
M&S should go into crafting, what a show piece. The shining, golden latticed, milk chocolate egg they bring to the table is not something that would be laid by your average street retailer. Ribbed and intertwined branches climb around the shell leaving you gazing for hours; a clever marketing tactic because we don’t feel we could break this. Chip into your wallet for this gold laced beauty and you’ll be expecting a tasty £15 price tag.
Number 3…
You either love it or hate it. Taking the Easter scene to new boundaries, Marmite are pushing the savoury boat out and by that they have brought their salty spread to the shell. The sticky black substance doesn’t dominate the egg as it’s mixed with a silky milk chocolate, however if you’re not a fan we advise you against it. Rumour has it that the bold, deepness still plasters the pallet but is offered out as an alternative to Easter egg fans. Picking one of these will be a cheaper option from our list at around £5.
Number 2…
Hotel Chocolat, you deserve a medal. Chocoholics nationwide, brace yourselves as the best Egg since time began is gracing the shelves. The master chocolatiers over at the Hotel have whisked up an Egg for everyone’s taste; the self proclaimed Ostrich Egg doesn’t skip out on any of your favourites. Weighing in at 1.1kg, the monstrosity contains two extra thick shells that are filled with everything from champagne truffles to tangy fruits. You’d have best save up your pocket money though as this Ostrich Egg will break the bank at £75.
Number 1…
I don’t think anyone has ever seen anything like this, not even Bugg’s is worth his weight in gold compared to this bunny. Taking two days to carve by Harrods’s ex Chef Decor, this bouncing, money bunny robs the bank at a whopping £33,000. Not only is this beast not easy on the bank, it’s going to bust your belly too, stealing your daily allowance of calories at a huge 548,000. 5Kg would be a lot of sweet chocolate to get through but we’d take the challenge with any student to smash it, beware though, the eyes are made of solid diamonds.
