Lamenting the loss of the crisp snap of breaking into an Easter egg

[PicklePalace]

Now it’s just a bendy type experience.

traditionally, an Easter egg was very thin chocolate which snapped very crisply when you broke into it. Oh and it also housed the goodies inside it

don’t know why I’m bothering with this Easter egg tbh ( but still shovelling down another piece)

anyone else remember the days of old?

I don't remember the snap, but there is so much shite in them these days that all regular chocolate tastes wrong. Bloody palm oil, gums and emulsifiers.

I was astounded today by the extravagance of hot cross buns now. The selection is vast! I only went to get a normal pack and was confronted by about 17 different types! Neopolitan (dried strawberries and dried cream apparently), salted caramel and chocolate, st Clements, apple and cinnamon , triple chocolate , cheddar and Red Leicester , brown sugar and cinnamon etc etc etc !

Yes even from the fridge they don’t have the correct crackability level

Yes it was a SNAP! A very brittle crack of the thinnest chocolate

@LookUpnotDown ashamed to say I bought some chocolate and sour cherry ones but yes - tradition is OVER

I'm sure I read that Easter egg chocolate is made differently, they do something to it to make it hold its shape?

My parents always bought me a big bar of Dairy Milk at Easter because it was 'better value' 🙄😰🤨
