Cadbury Koko Large Milk Chocolate Easter Egg

8 March 2010 in Cadbury's, Large Easter Eggs, Luxury Easter Eggs, Milk Chocolate by admin

I was looking forward to reviewing this Koko Easter Egg because the adverts were great and the packaging very enticing, but alas, I was disappointed.

When I opened up the packaging I expected the Easter egg to fill a lot more of it than it did. I’d say it filled about a third of the available space and was left rattling around the box. It was only the fact that the sides are pulled into hold it in position. Below the egg was a bag of five of the Koko chocolates – which isn’t a great deal.

But I’ll give it credit, the Easter egg did look pretty great when unwrapped, although it did feel incredibly light. Also the texture was very buttery. And the full extent of this came to light when I tried to break the Easter egg. Whereas the Tesco Finest Plain Chocolate Marble Easter Egg was very hard to break, this one just fell into two parts in my hands.

I just wished this Easter egg felt more substantial and not like it’d melt into liquid within a couple of seconds’ contact with your hands.

I think I paid about £6.99 for this egg at Tesco and no feel like I’ve got an incredibly bad deal. I’ve found Debenhams sell them for £4.50 which isn’t a bad price if the person you’re buying for loved milk chocolate.

The individual Koko chocolates are pretty nice and reminded me of Christmas chocolates. They’re very creamy with a bit of an intensely caramel taste. I couldn’t eat more than half of it as I felt I’d go dizzy with all the sugar.

Rating:

Taste: 55% – to sweet and buttery
Texture: 30% – it fell apart too easily and just melted into nothing
Appearance: 75% – I did think it looked great though.
Nutritional Information: 80% – very good as comes as standard with Cadbury’s
Packaging: 60% – not bad, but still a fair bit of card used
Price: 65% – it depends where you get it form. At the Tesco price its expensive, at the Debenhams it’s not bad value if you know the recipient will like Cadbury’s milk chocolate
