To think that chocolate tastes better when it's shaped like an egg

Is it just me who thinks this?

Currently obsessed with mini eggs - the Smarties ones, Milky Bar ones, the regular Mini Eggs.

Why does chocolate seem to taste better when it is shaped like an egg!? Or am I just a weirdo!?

YANBU.

A friend once gave me a cookie recipe "for using up leftover Easter eggs". I was like "Confused"

@FrostyChocolateMilkshake

What is wrong with your partner!? I cannot believe he doesn't enjoy a chocolate egg 😂

It is so bizarre, I know the chocolate is the same as the bars but egg shaped chocolate is just a thousand times better!

I have no idea, but this isn't his only flaw. I may have to get rid of him. Grin

Also the person who said chocolate must be coin shaped at Christmas, yes! Exactly!

Yes!! An Easter egg straight from the fridge!

Snapping big pieces of chocolate egg off to eat! Yes please!!

Looseleaf · 06/03/2021 21:56

I have a scientific theory, maybe the eggs allow more chocolate on your tongue compared to a thick square from a bar!

DD tried melting chocolate onto mint leaves To make leaf shaped chocs for fun and that seemed to taste much nicer too!

kooked · 06/03/2021 21:56

Nah, it tastes like it cost £4 for a standard £1 worth of chocolate

BestOption · 06/03/2021 21:56

It IS different.

& much nicer

FangsForTheMemory · 06/03/2021 21:57

Yes, I put my easter eggs in the freezer so they are really cold and the chocolate snaps and they are divine.

Well, not Divine. Cadbury's of course.

lothermand · 06/03/2021 22:00

Yes..personally I like the thinness of a large eggs chocolate. Definitely tastes different😋

Velvian · 06/03/2021 22:01

YANBU. I love Easter eggs.

thenightsky · 06/03/2021 22:01

@Looseleaf

I think you're onto something with that theory.

LyndaSnellMBE · 06/03/2021 22:05

YADNBU. I LOVE Easter eggs!

Biribift · 06/03/2021 22:11

@FlyingPandas

OMG yes yes yes yes a million times yes.

With you 100% OP.

I have no idea why a Cadburys Easter Egg tastes nicer than a Cadburys chocolate bar but it does.

This x 1000
FrostyChocolateMilkshake · 06/03/2021 22:14

I'm so happy you all agree with me

@ClarkeGriffin sack your partner off and come eat chocolate eggs with me instead 😂

Nope, Easter eggs are rank and taste of cheap nasty chocolate even the expensive ones.

I used to work with a food scientist who had worked at Rowntree’s in York and she said it was a different higher melting point formulation to ensure the hollow eggs retain their shape.

Cadbury Mini Eggs are the food of the gods.

Rockbird · 06/03/2021 22:22

DH totally agrees. I've been stocking up on those Cadbury Egg Heads eggs for £1 each in Tesco for him. He hates the accompanying bars etc but loves the egg itself.

I have 7 Easter eggs in the house for nieces and nephews and it's so hard not to eat them.
I have 2 bars of galaxy in the fridge that have been sitting there for weeks. They do not have the same appeal.

bendmeoverbackwards · 06/03/2021 22:27

Yes, love egg shaped chocolate and animals. Remember these from the 80s?

Dragonfly3 · 06/03/2021 22:27

Definitely! And you can break a bit off one half of the egg and use it to write ‘this egg belongs to Dargonfly’ on the other half so nobody can claim to eat your egg ‘by accident’.

MuddyWalks · 06/03/2021 22:28

You are correct. Especially when they only cost 75p from Tesco.

I shall. He also doesn't like fish, so he is just a lost cause. I'll have him buried under the patio, no one else should have to deal with him. Grin
Nowisthemonthofmaying · 06/03/2021 22:30

@FangsForTheMemory I freeze my Easter eggs too! So much better when you get that snap from the chocolate... I thought I was the only one who did this 😂

ThePearSquare · 06/03/2021 22:32

I LOVE mini eggs but hate Easter eggs.
The fact that they’re hollow makes them taste weird, they are basically what disappointment tastes like.

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 06/03/2021 22:34

Bunnies are better than eggs. Anyone who disagrees should meet me in the parking lot.
