Easter has been and gone but it is the best time to buy Easter eggs. I don’t know what it is, but Easter egg chocolate is just so much better than any other type of chocolate. No idea why, it just is. I do not think that Easter eggs are worth the obscene price tags that they have developed over recent years, hence why my Easter celebration (i.e. my chocolate eating celebration) takes place after the actual Easter weekend when the specialist chocolate is heavily discounted to a far more reasonable price tag.
I don’t see the Moofree products too often, so I was excited to see an Easter egg on sale for them. The chocolate of theirs I have tried has always been good, and I was pleased to see an Easter egg that was not just a plain chocolate egg. It is always nice to see a little bit of creativity!
I won’t get into a discussion about the shrinkflation that has happened with Easter eggs (as with everything in the world it seems) because we all know it is happening and we don’t need the reminder. This egg was a pretty standard size, but I did like that the chocolate itself was filled with the malteaser-like comb of their regular chocolate bar. So not only did the egg chocolate have that lovely Easter egg crunch that only an Easter egg can have, it also had the soft crunch of the malt comb throughout it. It is VERY moreish. Even more so than a regular Easter egg, so take this as your warning.
This egg was originally advertised as £13. Which is mind-blowing when it is barely more than two chocolate bars inside. But I got this discounted for £2.40, which is absolutely a more worthy price for this. The chocolate is good and the crunchy comb in the actual egg was a welcome treat, but it was never worth £13. But personally I don’t think any Easter egg is worth more than £5, unless it is genuinely bigger than my head and filled with goodies when you break it open. But as a basic supermarket option? £5 is really my limit. I think this particular egg could be worth more if you genuinely got more in it – one egg and a chocolate bar is not enough. Maybe if the egg also came with 5 chocolate bars, it could be more reasonable, or if the egg came filled with smaller versions of the bar so you had a fun little surprise when you crack it open. But that is not the case and it seems to be an issue with all Easter eggs, not just this one.
