My family had the rule that eggs should only be eaten at Easter; but any other chocolate was fair game, even during Lent. If you received an egg before Easter (perhaps at school), you were supposed to put it in the kitchen cupboard (with your name on) for the hunt. We took turns to hunt, and there was a special (light hearted) penalty for anyone who had cheated and eaten eggs before Easter: you had to hunt for your eggs blindfolded! 🙈 One year, when Easter was very late, all of us did this, deciding the hunt would be more fun that way.
