To think that chocolate tastes different depending on it's shape?

So I think that an Easter egg shaped bit of (e.g cadbury's milk) chocolate tastes different to that same kind of chocolate as a bar.

Absolutely true but seems specific to Cadburys I've been doing a lot of testing this week the oval bit inside the egg where it is a bit thicker is by far the best. I may now return to the cool bag on top of the fridge where my current egg is hidden just to check the theory again.

Definitely! Lindt bunny tastes totally different to a Lindt bar.

Cross posted headache we must share the same taste in eggs although I'm also a fan of Lindt bunnies.

DH and I agree YANBU. We rarely agree so this is a result worth noting. Grin

Actualfudge, and giant buttons are best of all 😍

See, I've been saying this for decades. Easter egg tastes different to blocks which taste different to buttons which taste different to each other depending on size which taste different to the chocolate on the chocolates in Milk Tray and twirls taste different to flakes and so on. I've devoted a lifetime to chocolate gluttony the in depth study of this size/shape phenomenon to the extent that it's probably not unfair to say that what Carl Sagan is to astrophysics, I am to chocolate.

OP, YADNBU and there's a special chocolate free corner of Hell awaiting anyone who says different.

In my opinion, the best chocolate is small foil-wrapped eggs. I like the Lindt ones.

Easter eggchocolate has a slightly different recipe to a chocolate bar. It's due to the way they need the chocolate to behave once melted, as it needs to set in a more complex shape. I think the key difference is it has a higher oil content. Different recipe, different taste.

Plus it's much thinner and so would taste different on your tongue anyway, and melts easier.

Those Cadbury bunnies were lovely to eat and nicer than the bar chocolate. Wish they sold them all year round
