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

102 replies

FrostyChocolateMilkshake · 06/03/2021 21:17

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!?

@MuddyWalks

You are correct. Especially when they only cost 75p from Tesco.
Unless you go to the shop without your fucking club card like me

@AlfonsoTheTerrible

Bunnies are better than eggs. Anyone who disagrees should meet me in the parking lot.
I believe you mean the car park and I will indeed meet you there.

@AntigoneLost

Completely agree. Can’t stand Cadbury’s bars since the recipe changed but the eggs are almost as nice as the bars used to be, even though it’s the new recipe.
I was going to say exactly this.

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

Yes :)

@GreenSlide you've learnt a very important lesson in life. Never forget your Clubcard.

Yes you are correct op. The thicker the chocolate the better. The sound of it snapping is awesome.

RoseMartha · 06/03/2021 22:43

Yes tastes much better the dc and I were talking about this the other day

Figmentofimagination · 06/03/2021 22:53

Agree 1000%

When DH was shopping at Aldi the other day he rang to say there were no bars of Dairy Milk so would I like a small Easter egg instead. Did he really need to ask?!

Ate the whole egg in one sitting that evening. I should have asked him to get me more.

GreenSlide · 06/03/2021 22:54

Also, they taste even better if they have a bunny or a duck imprinted on the side.

FlamedToACrisp · 06/03/2021 23:01

Christmas choc should be bell-shaped on one side, flat on the other and filled with Cadbury's Caramel. I haven't been able to find Caramel tree decorations for the last few years though Sad.

He's definitely a keeper!

MrsRobinsonsHandprints · 06/03/2021 23:07

I always buy 50 bags of mini eggs when I see them so I can have them all year. I'm sure MN will be horrified that I have three eggs a day think of the sugar but they are the best.

That he is.

Oh, and you can sometimes get the bell caramel chocolates at Home Bargains. I didn't manage to get any last Christmas but did for a few years before that.

Nightbear · 06/03/2021 23:08

I’m horrified that you can stick to 3 eggs a day.

LeSquigh · 06/03/2021 23:08

Has anyone had the Terry chocolate orange eggs? I was so disappointed by them. They have a (very) hard shell and have me a stomach ache. I love chocolate orange normally but these are horrible.

I completely agree. Normally I don't eat much chocolate- can easily go several weeks without it. But Easter eggs are a different story!

OhWhyNot · 06/03/2021 23:11

Yes I think it does too

I think it often tastes creamier

My favourite is Kinder and the Lindt Bunny (the best chocolate ever)

All this talk of chocolate eggs is making me hungry. Despite the fact I'm nomming my way through a large pack of Milky Bar Mini Eggs as we speak.

@LeSquigh so disappointed to hear about the Terry's eggs!! They look so good - saw my first one in Tesco today.

Think I'll stick to my Terry's Chocolate Orange at Christmas

Kaydogsdinner · 06/03/2021 23:13

Omg yes, someone has finally said what I've been thinking for years, thank you OP!. Freddos also taste better I think!

LindaEllen · 06/03/2021 23:14

Absolutely!

I'm 30, and am slowly coming to the conclusion that, actually, I am an ADULT, and could perfectly well start consuming this beautiful form of chocolatey goodness as early as Boxing Day! Every year! I can do what I like!

(Unfortunately I still have my mum's voice in the back of my head saying the Easter Bunny would be sad if I ate my chocolate before Easter Sunday ...)

Ha! You're not the first person to say that, its a standing joke amongst my friends.

@lindaellen I have that voice too!! I can eat mini eggs guilt-free but the thought of chowing down on a great big Easter egg before Easter Sunday makes me quiver a bit inside
