I have never tried diabetic chocolate so I can't answer you directly but there are others on this forum who have. They tend to recommend not eating it since it has laxative properties. Of course your Easter egg may be the exception but I thought I would warn you anyway.

i could handle the laxative properties as long as i could enjoy eating it :D

I have had some of the thorntons diabetic chocolate. If you read the carb content it's not much lower than normal chocolate! I only had 1 square, maximum 2 at a time so I didn't notice any adverse affects. But u figure if I'm only going to eat that much j might as well have normal chocolate!
