Chocolate at easter time

Is it just me or does chocolate at easter taste different? (and so much yummier)

I got a little packet of mini eggs today, and can't stop eating them, I'm even ashamed to say that I hid them from DD so I didn't have to share :redface:

oh no easter egg chocalate does taste better its creamier yet lighter feeling :D

I'm being good and not having any till easter weekend but man its hard :lol:

i have recently become addicted to dark chocolate, and so now its not so hard to say no to milk chocolate!

You are so right, there is nothing as good as Easter chocolate. Especially the Lindt 80% dark .......yumo!

Depends on the brand.
The mini eggs are really good in any brand but some (cheap) brands with the big eggs taste like cr@p. In saying that I normally get the mini eggs or cadbury or lindt :D

definitely something different about easter egg choccies - more refined sugars and different preservatives!!



i'm allowed to eat normal chocolate, but something in easter egg chocolate gives me an allergic reaction!!

Rach, nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks it tastes different and yummier. I was going to start buying a couple of choccies every week when shopping, but honestly, why bother, they'll just end up in my tummy!

BG - Nooooo! No easter chocolate for you! That is so so sad. So there is definately something different with the ingredients?

Skittlebub, Oh yes, the cheapie chocolates. DH's grandmother buys them.

DD has acquired a taste for lindt chocolates as of last year. At least I know my girl has taste :)

nope, no easter eggs for me - although i have a couple of younger family members that dont understand so still give me easter eggs - i think it might be a ploy though - they get to eat them later.... i can still eat a really small amount of it without reacting - i just choose not to.

i'm not too phased by it - i find even the good easter egg choccie far too sweet, so our main family do an exchange of "real" chocolate blocks - and DH and I exchange small presents. growing up we got presents more so than chocolate. DH and I usually find something chocolate wise to share at easter - last year it was a huge mixed box of Lindt...

Oh BG, when you said that you and your DH find something chocolate wise to share I thought you were going to say something about body chocolate LOL! :lol: Think I need some sleep... and get my mind out of the gutter!

Nic

nah - you don't have to wait for easter for that nic!!!



hmmmmmmmmmm, i think my mind is permanently in the gutter!

PMSL BG, you crack me up! Luckily I have finished my drink, otherwise it would've been all over my computer screen!

hehehe

next time i'll give you warning! :lol:

My Mum has given me a Humpty Dumpty Easter choc egg with smarties inside ever since i was little ... And I still get now even in my 40's ... Easter just wouldn't be the same without my Humpty Dumpty & I get to be a kid all over again each Easter ;)

(Though sadly Humpty doesn't have the cracked effect that it did all those yrs ago & the smarties don't taste quite as good but maybe that's cause growing up as a child chocolate was a treat in my folks household & any chocolate would have tasted the greatest to me as a kid) :rolleyes:
