Many of us want to impress our loved one or kids at Easter with Giant Easter eggs – regardless of how practical they are. We may not want to shell out the £150 for an Imperial Easter egg from Bettys, but we may want something a fair bit larger than the average Easter egg, but still not horrendously expensive. So here’s the top 5 giant, large, huge, massive (call them what you want) Easter eggs for 2012.
In previous years Hotel Chocolat did the massive 1.1kg Ostrich Easter egg in both milk and dark chocolate but this year they’re doing it in milk and a half and half with the 0ther 50% of the shell being dark chocolate. If you were look for an Easter egg for couples and you didn’t mind spending £70 then this has to be the Easter egg to buy.
What I have noticed is that the egg has come down in size over the past three years from either 1.4kg or 1.5kg to 1.1kg whilst the price has gone up from £50 to £70. But I do think it’s a far superior product now and the team in Royston have done a great job in improving the egg. Now it comes in delightfully colourful cylindrical container with a round layer of chocolates on the top and a whole heap in the middle. Seemingly what you’ve lost in weight, you’ve made up in quality!
Thorntons used to do a giant bunny, which cost about £50, but I just can’t find it this year. Instead the largest Easter egg they do is a fairly decent 620g and costs £24.99. It’s got 27 milk, dark and white chocolates and it looks pretty good, but I’ll have to try it before I pass judgement.
The Montezuma’s Giant Egg: Costa Rica or Ecuadorian Eggs are a very handy 600g of dark chocolate Easter egg. The Co-Founder of Montezuma’s describes it as “Beautiful, bold and unbelievably good. That’s how I describe our two varieties of Giant egg; and it feels so good! For me dark chocolate has to be subtle and rich while not being overly bitter. ‘By Jove they have it’ seems appropriately old fashioned to describe this exquisite cocoa from Costa Rica with a unique and fascinating depth of flavour. One for the grown-ups at Easter” – I’m hopefully going to get one in the post. Buy Now – £29.99.
There are some large retro Easter eggs out in 2012 but they’re not actually all that large. You can get this 282g Lion egg from Chocolate Buttons for £7.15 or Ocado for £5.59.
You can get the large Galaxy Easter egg which comes with a 125g Galaxy milk chocolate block, a 119g cookie crumble block and a Galaxy caramel block together with a 200g Easter egg for £13.25. You can also get a Galaxy Minstrels version. I’ll keep an eye out for some other massive Easter eggs you can get in the high street.
I’ve put this one in even though it’s not fine chocolate because sometimes you just want some nice plane chocolate that isn’t too bitter or fancy. With the Giant Dairy Milk Easter Egg you get a huge chocolate shell and a large bar of Dairy Milk. You can buy this from Debenhams for £10 they also do a giant mini eggs Easter egg and a giant Creamed Egg Easter egg!
