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

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...
