The wonderful people at Cadbury’s sent me over this Easter Egg Hamper to get my thoughts. And seeing as I don’t think I could work my way through it in one go, I thought it’d be a good idea to do the review one Easter egg at a time.

What I love about Cadbury’s is that they give you the family’s favourite Easter eggs at bargain prices. If you look at Chocolate Buttons who sell Easter eggs at wholesale and bulk prices, the price of the Cadbury’s Roses Large Easter Egg is £7.41 each. Whilst, if you buy them in a box full of other chocolate goodies, it works out much cheaper.

That’s the point of these large Cadbury’s Easter eggs. You do get a lot for your money, but don’t expect fine, artisan chocolate. These Easter eggs are created to appeal to the mass-market and be affordable.

And the one thing you’ll notice when you pull the egg out of the box is that it still takes up a fair amount of the packaging. When I lifted it out, it felt heavier than I expected. On measuring it comes out to around 15cm tall and about 10cm across – which are fairly big.

Also in the box you’ll get an assortment of ten different chocolates from the Roses selection box – which is a good amount.

Something else you’ll notice is that the egg is very shiny as it is has a lot cocoa butter and vegetable fats. In fact the cocoa content is only 20% which is low. But the point is that most families won’t care. Easter is about over-indulging after lent. And what better way than with many people’s favourite?

For me, there wasn’t enough cocoa content to really enjoy the taste. It’s probably because I taste high-cocoa content chocolate every day.

It seems that this year the closest hamper they do is their Essential Collection Hamper which is £30, and contains a couple of medium sized eggs, a couple of smal nes, a whole load of creme eggs and otehr treats as well as a Trail Pack.

Rating:

• Taste: 45% – just because I prefer dark chocolate
• Texture: 55% – it was quite difficult to break in to, but very soft when you try and bite into it – very strange.
• Appearance: 65% – the box, the internal packaging and the egg itself did look good.
• Nutritional Information: 90% – there’s everything you needed there.
• Packaging: 65% – there is a big box and internal packaging. It would be hard to get around it though, and they are trying too hard to cut down.
• Price: 80% – for a family it’s great value.
• Overall: 66.6% – definitely aimed at families with children.
