Tesco Finest Plain Chocolate Marble Easter Egg

7 March 2010 in Dark Chocolate, Tesco by admin

For just £2.99 for this Tesco Finest Plain Chocolate Marble Easter Egg I wasn’t expecting much. But what I actually got was a fantasticly luxurious Easter egg.

I know that most of you would like to get your loved-one an Easter egg from a brand name that just makes chocolate and not a supermarket. But if they like dark chocolate then I’d really suggest that you get this one as its great value and tastes wonderful.

But one thing to note, I think the “plain chocolate” labelling of this Easter egg is missleading. To me “plain chocolate” is “milk chocolate” and at 70% cocoa its nothing like the sugary stuff you’d normally get when you buy milk chocolate. Conversely it has a fairly strong bitterness to it which should satisfy most dark chocolate lovers.

The Easter egg might not be the biggest you’ll ever buy, but if they’re still doing the 2 for £5 then they’re outstanding value and you can get them some other Easter treats to go with it – perhaps from the online retailers such as Hotel Chocolat and Thorntons.
