Marks & Spencer Milk Chocolate Easter Egg

I’m glad that Marks & Spencer offer affordable Easter egg. And this M & S Milk Chocolate Easter Egg comes in at just £2.99 which is great for a 155g Easter egg. You also get 7 chocolate truffle filled half mini eggs.

The Easter egg is nothing to write home about, but at that price you shouldn’t expect anything fancy. M&S do have a range of the branded Easter eggs, from recollection they had a High School Musical one, and another one aimed at kids, but they were about £5.99 each. I expect most parents or grandparents would opt for this cheaper option if they wanted to keep things M&S.

Thankfully the Easter egg wasn’t over-powering like many aimed at kids or most milk-chocolate Easter eggs. This one had a well-rounded aroma. The taste was pretty mild and didn’t hit you with any unwanted undertones. It was fairly sweet put still pleasant. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was very thin at around 2mm – at least you won’t overdose yourself. And you certainly won’t overdose yourself on the chocolate with just 30% minimum cocoa solids. However, the plus points is that there were no artificial colourings or flavourings. But it was made in a factory were nut ingredients.

Another point I didn’t like was the almost excessive packaging especially as Nestlé said it was making strides into reducing the amount of packaging used in their Easter eggs.
