Every Easter we treat ourselves to a ridiculously indulgent Easter egg. It has become a tradition and isn't something we plan to change despite our diet now being low carb. So, the question is, are there high percentage choc eggs out there? I'm afraid our palates don't quite stretch to 100%, but hoping to find something between 80-90. Contenders so far are:

A bit low % but those lux nuts and buche are delicious!

Has anyone spotted any other tempting ones out there?
 
I’m with @Rachox, and the only Easter eggs I’ll be eating will be served with bacon and coffee. I may perhaps pick up a bar of Montezuma’s Absolute Black but I’ve not really been eating that recently either. Admittedly I’ve never been a fan of Easter eggs anyway, so I’m afraid I can’t offer anything constructive. In fact I’ve never had a “sweet tooth” at all. I got my diabetes from healthy whole grains
 
Buy some stevia sweetened chocolate plus some 85% or 90% chocolate, and very carefully warm each bar until melted, swirl them around two vaguely round/egg shaped bowls that you have first rubbed with a little coconut oil (so you can slide the chocolate shell off once set). (or if you don't have two suitable matching bowls, melt half of each bar, swirl, cool save and then do the other half)
Leave for a few hours in a cool place, then slide off, fill one half with some Hotel Chocolat low sugar chocs, rub the edge with a hot knife to melt the join and seal the two halves.

Wrap in fancy paper and put away until Easter. eat slowly and save some for later ...
 

I nearly bought one just now! At that carb count even eating the whole thing wouldn’t do too much damage.
 
Everyday I have Montezuma Dark 100%, today I had 8 pieces rather than the usual 4 as I crushed the gym earlier and will do a little more weights in a minute.

I might do some mint chocolate brownie type thing.
 
@Goonergal Ive got one of those HC eggs! Daughter’s partner phoned to say she was in Hammersmith HC and did I want anything? Silly question.
