I was lucky enough to be given a Heston Blumenthal dark egg last year.
Delicious.
Really hoping it will become a tradition...

Chocolate isn't my thing, but I recall last year a number of forumites waxing lyrical about their scrumptious chocolate egginess.
As I recall, @Avocado Sevenfold and @Brunneria were amongst the ringleaders.

Buy an Easter chicken???
Seriously, yes, a dark chocolate, high cocoa Easter egg would be fantastic. I'm infuriated that they're not called 'Easter' eggs these days, though. I'm so tempted to take a permanent marker into the shops and write 'Easter' on all the 'chocolate egg' boxes

Uhh? Wot?
...was just having a reminiscent moment...
If memory serves, the shell was matte dark choc, with a few chocolate nibs pressed into it in places... And inside, on a nest of vanilla flavoured shredded edible paper, were some mini eggs filled with salted caramel.
Of course the caramel was high carb, but those eggs were small, and i only had one a day...
Sigh...

Not many posts make me really laugh out loud but your mutant bunny one did.
Here's a Easter Bilby so that we do not have to eat mutant Easter bunnies.Not many posts make me really laugh out loud but your mutant bunny one did.
Don't hurt it as it's one of the many Australian animals that is an endangered species.
That's why they have the Easter Bilby campaign every year, feral cats have a lot to answer for.

For some reason, I thought you had done the Hotel Chocolat thing Avo?
I love their ginger puddles! I can't remember if I have had one of their eggs though.
This year they are selling an "egg sandwich"
I don't know what the carbs are on this though.http://www.hotelchocolat.com/uk/egg...html#prefn1=chocolateType&prefv1=Dark&start=9

That is weird.
And not very appetising (to me).
