Why does easter egg chocolate taste different

[spadetownboy]

dont know about anyone else but im a sucker for easter eggs and i finally succumbed to the temptation yesterday and treated myself to a buttons egg (only a small one so i dont feel too guilty). as ever it was very nice but again brought up the question i ask myself every year,why does easter egg chocolate taste different to the common bar of chocolate one would buy in the shop?

it's cheaper! it's like sausages, all the sweepings off the factory floor are melded together into egg shapes.

by bunnies, at night. bunnies dont have the high health and safety standards that the normal factory staff have.

Also all the air trapped inside permeates the chocolate itself. Sometimes one of the egg making bunnies farts whilst making the egg, the fart is trapped inside, and that's what you eat, along with the egg.

True.

[spadetownboy]

that explains a lot. i suppose you,re going to tell me the same bunnies gather up their droppings and package it as nesquik cereal.

[mightyroar]

that's why it's so chocolatey delicious!

::o I'm shocked at you for already eating your egg!!! do you open your Christmas presents early too?

OMG!!!!!!! ::o ::o ::o

Buttons chocolate tastes different to a choc bar too so a buttons egg probably tastes nothing like chocolate at all!

They taste lovely after leaving in the fridge for a day :)) eggs that this... but make sure you leave them in the foil wrapping.

I suppose it's a bit like "coca-cola" tasting different in a can from that in a plastic bottle...

I'm still eating my Christmas chocolate - 1 box down, 2 boxes to go......

If I don't get a Your Eggsellency? egg this year, there will be hell to pay.

A superb and highly scientific response!

Nearly made me blow coffee out of my nose. :))

How classy!

[annaj]

No, Kel, classy is when I do the same thing with champagne!

Just try not to be too funny around me when I'm drinking red wine. :-$

re: annaj

I've seen this happen - it's somewhere between scary and endearing

[mightyroar]

(but it is true)

re: your nose

I love Easter eggs because I am usually hysterical with the need for chocolate by the end of Lent - OHMYGOD! I could swallow an entire egg in one gulp by then...

[KalamityKel]

*rolls eyes* lent aint meant to be about the reward at the end of it (meaning choccy of course!) Just think of the work all those bunnies have to do to statisfy... no I had better stop there! :-$
