The Ombles egg
Specifications
This is the adult version of the mini children's ones. The chocolate is delicious but it may be a little sweet for some adult palates. The chocolate flakes that cover the egg are great - they heighten the flavour but they also add a little bit of interest, as do the white chocolate eyes.
Hotel Chocolat Rocky Road to Caramel Extra-Thick Egg
Specifications
This is a great mix of chocolate. Half 40% milk with crispy cookies and puffed rice and the other half is solid caramel-milk. This is a little sweet but it's nice to have the mixture. The chocolates inside are also delicious and a good mix but mostly along the caramel lines.

Lindor Truffles are super smooth, or irresistibly smooth to coin their own phrase. Melt in the mouth chocolate that brings real comfort. The Lindt chocolate egg is also wonderfully warming.
