So, you’re an adult and you’re wondering what to give another adult this Easter… or what to give yourself.  Well, you need not fret any longer! The folks at Demijohn have created a liquid alcoholic chocolate in a egg shaped bottle. Yep, that’s right – liquid deli Demijohn have created the perfect Easter gifts for grownups: Chocolate Orange Cream Liqueur.

According to the company, the liqueur is made by combining a subtle blend of dark chocolate, real Devonshire Cream, Apple Brandy and the zest of an orange.  They say that this rich, creamy liqueur will blow your mind on Easter Day. It is apparently made by a retired stockbroker in Devon and he thinks that it contains all that is wonderful about Easter – and in a drink! The serving instructions are that it is best served straight from the fridge with a little ice it can also be an indulgent sauce for ice cream or other puddings and I have to agree, having first tried it warm.

The liqueur is as you would expect of a white chocolate orange liqueur. It is not as sweet as I was fearing but it isn’t something you can drink too much of at one sitting like other rich, creamy liqueurs. The flavours are distinct and pronounced but the chocolate isn’t overly pronounced. I’m not really getting it as much as I thought I would but it is light in colour (a light beige) and so it isn’t going to be deeply chocolaty.  The mouth feel is pleasant enough without any separation and very smooth. It retains flavour while the ice melts and I feel is something best enjoyed against a cheese or other savoury food.

I think lovers of cream liqueurs are going to enjoy this one. From the smooth mouth feel to the harmonious flavours to the cleaner finish, this is a very nice Easter tipple.  Priced at £21.60 for a 500ml round Strauss bottle it isn’t inexpensive but I’d recommend giving it a try with friends (and chilled – that is the important part!)

Demijohn’s Angus Ferguson said: “Easter egg hunts can be thirsty work and while the children can gorge themselves on chocolates we felt it was time to treat the adults. Our Chocolate Orange Cream Liqueur in the Easter egg shaped bottle is a sure winner – our hens certainly thought so – and what makes it even more special is the fact you can add your own personalised message to the bottle. A very grown up way to celebrate Easter!”

Demijohn’s Chocolate Orange Easter egg is called A Chocolate Orange with a Difference

So, I’ve done a number of Hotel Chocolate aster eggs this year but I haven’t done one that was totally white chocolate. I know that the egg and chips was part white chocolate but not all white chocolate.  This is all white chocolate.

This raspberry Eaton Mess egg sandwich is really cute. There’s quite a bit of sweet white chocolate here. 100g of flavoured white chocolate with pits of freeze dried raspberry pieces and meringue bits giving this a bit of a crunch and quite a bit of tang.

The egg is hollow though… and there is no chocolate inside this egg – it is all over it. The website over at Hotel Chocolat says “Everyone loves an egg sandwich, which is exactly why we created these little beauties. And dare we say, we might even have improved on it – with irresistible slabs of raspberry and white chocolate, sprinkled with crispy meringue and raspberry pieces, sandwiched between creamy white chocolate egg shells.”

The “egg shells” are hollow and the slabs are relatively thick and so overall if you like sweet with a kick of sour and a but of texture, then this is going to be something you’ll want to pick up in store today. Hurry!

I have to admit, this is a big one. I ended up having to share this because it was just so massively huge. Isn’t that what Easter is all about though? Massively huge Thorntons Easter Eggs that look and taste lovely?

This one is actually 430 grams of chocolate and meringue and candied lemon peel.  Actually, the meringue and candied lemon peel is covered in white chocolate and mainly in a stained glass window in the front of the egg.

The white chocolate is flavoured with a deliciously, slightly tart, lemon flavour. The whole white chocolate egg is studded with meringue and while light, it is lovely and crunchy, meaning the white chocolate has a deliciously crunchy edge.

The front stained glass window has the candied lemon peel and the meringue and some of it I think is a bit chocolate covered. It has thick chocolate here and with that thickness is more yumminess. Lovely stained glass window lemon meringue pie with lovely lemon chocolate.

There is a lot of chocolate here and the tart of the lemon does balance off against the sweet white chocolate. The meringue pieces adds to the mix to make this an awesome egg. At only £14.99 it is also an awesome deal.

I’m just in love with Hotel Chocolat sea salted caramel. It is something delicious with their milk chocolate loveliness and I’ve just fallen in love with their choccies. If there was one thing I would change about their egglets, I would make them thinner.

Well, my thinner shell wish came true in this lovely set of yummy choccies. The egg is white chocolate with vanilla seeds in it, making it creamy and intensely vanilla, kind of like eating vanilla ice cream in chocolate for,.  The yolk is delicious caramel and it is tough to separate out so I just ate it.  Then after eating the egg yolk of salted caramel and white chocolate, and the white of white chocolate and vanilla seeds, I started on the chips.

The chips… the chips are amazing. They aren’t too thick shelled and there is a *lot* of sea salt caramel in there. This is exactly what I was hoping for. A delicious stick of sea salted caramel goodness in mellow milk chocolate – just what you want to go with your chocolate egg.

I have to admit – I like these more than last year’s version.  Firstly, these are sea salted caramel and secondly they don’t look as real as last year. Woah but those eggy soldier things looked read and kinda creepy. So I’ll be keeping these for myself…

I know you guys dig on those Moser Roth chocolate ‘balls’ that are really egg-shaped and only on sale from September to April.  They rock to much!  Well, this too is a seasonal product on sale until Easter so grab it fast before it goes away.  In fact, this is so inexpensive that you could actually buy 10 or a dozen.

The milk chocolate is sweet and has a different flavour to it I simply cannot identify. There is something slightly weird. I’m not sure if I like it or not – it’s hard to place a finger on. I’m not disliking it but I think I’m neutral on it. The little chocolates inside are OK but they are sweet so were a bit much for me to eat. I like the way the nuts cit through the sweetness but I think this is definitely an egg for a kid with a sweet tooth or an adult with one. I don’t think that any of the chocolates have alcohol in them so you’re safe giving this to a kid (though I’d give it to them in an outdoor space

The chocolate kind of reminds me of Ferrero Rochier I think. At 350g for only £2.99, with chocolates and the chocolate egg it’s going to be difficult to find something better for the same cost.  They say “Aldi’s Choceur Flame Egg is a real treat this Easter. Perfect for sharing, the chocolate egg is enclosed in decadent gold foil and has a selection of delicious milk and white chocolates at the centre.” I say that while I like it I think I’d pick up a box of the Moser Roth truffles which are like little eggs and enjoy those.

This egg is going to be great for kids though or for sharing. If you have a sweet tooth, go for it!

Ummm… OK, I know I’m not supposed to love this egg but I do. Yep, I love this egg and it was sweet yummy goodness. This Thorntons Banoffee Pie Easter egg is sweet yummy gooness with toffee goodness and banana goodness.

So why do I love this egg?  Well, the stained glass window has slices of banana and pieces of Thorntons Special Toffee in the front, with pieces of Special Toffee also speckling the shell. I think it is the toffee in the shell that has driven me a bit batty here.

I was happily enjoying the banana slices with the toffee and milk chocolate and then I took a bit of the shell.  You can see the darker flecks in the shel but it isn’t until you bite into it that you actually realise what it is – toffee!

Yep, this is an egg for the sweet-toothed among you and at times I am unashamed to admit that I have a very sweet tooth. I enjoy a bit of sweet milk chocolate and to marry that with the sweet toffee which gives it that bit of extra texture – well, sweet yummy deliciousness all around!

If you know someone with a sweet tooth who loves toffee and milk chocolate, this is going to be their favourite egg!

Helen and Simon founded Montezuma’s in 2000 hand making their chocolate with one little machine from one shop in Brighton. Since those early days Montezuma’s is now established as one of Britain’s innovative family chocolate maker with a reputation far wider than a handful of shops and network of lovely independent retailers.

A double thickness half milk chocolate, half dark chocolate egg filled with truffles.  Super Thick Half Ecuador Dark and Half Venezuelan Milk Chocolate Egg with Milking Maid and Eclipse Truffles this was quite different from other eggs I had reviewed.

The dark chocolate starts with a bit if fruitiness but there is a drying, tannin edge to it which I wasn’t expecting. The chocolate flavour is distinct with a slight acidity in the chocolate.  This dark chocolate reminds me a lot of Divine’s but where Divine is a little flatter, it also doesn’t have the drying tannins which I think, for me, lessen my pleasure. But some folk are going to enjoy this much more than other eggs.

The milk chocolate is quite sweet with a real malted edge, making this the lighter, sweet side of the egg. I know a lot of folk, myself included, love indulging in a bit of milk chocolate time. There’s nothing wrong with liking milk chocolate but dark chocolate is going to help you lose weight more easily having less sugar.

The truffles were not my favourite part of the egg I must admit. They were possibly just not to my taste and frankly, if everything were made to my taste there would not be as much fun in the world, right? Everyone is different and unique and some of you are going to dig on the drying, almost bitter dark chocolate while you share it with your milk chocolate loving partner.  This is an egg for sharing for sure as it is super thick – much like a Hotel Chocolat egg but I think not quite as thich however it is layered which I think is kinda cool.

A completely self-indulgent treat for the grown-ups this Easter and at £17.99, not a bad deal. The packaging is also not only totally recyclable, it also has been made with vegetable-based ink and other environmentally-friendly elements.

Well, this is absolutely stunning and available in the shop so you can go now and grab this  Pink Marc de Champagne Truffle Easter Egg because it is from one of the most popular names in chocolate and comes filled with their best selling truffles and comes in three great sizes.

The nice thick chocolate shell has a pattern. I tried to break the pieces of the shell off based on the pattern but the pieces were bigger… oh dear… I’ll have to eat them… and the perfectly shaped and moulded egg shell isn’t the only part of this egg that you get though.  I know that it seems small but I think you’re not seeing how deep this box is.

Wow… the secret of the egg is sealed inside and if you look you’ll find a bunch of truffles. Thi sis already a big egg and it is only the middle size. There is a smaller size if you want one that is just big enough for truffles and a ring or something and then there is a larger size which comes with even more truffles.  How many pink champagne truffles do you want to gift your Easter egg recipient with? You have a choice here and it comes with so many truffles of sweetness and champagne-ness.

This egg is amazing. Beautifully finished egg shell that are just perfectly beautiful with the truffles hidden inside – just like an Easter egg should be. And those pink champagne truffles – they are best sellers for a reason so get your bottom down to the shop or a Charbonnel et Walker outlet like Harrods and get yourself a smashingly good egg!

If you don’t have an egg for Easter yet, and I know a lot of you have been asking me so you must not have any yet, you’re going to want to consider getting one of these 260g dark chocolate Easter eggs. Divine Chocolate Ltd is the only Fairtrade chocolate company that is also co-owned by cocoa farmers. Kuapa Kokoo, a co-operative of 45,000 cocoa farmers in Ghana, benefit not only  from the Fairtrade premium on the sale of their beans, but also receive a 45% share of Divine’s distributable profits giving the farmers more economic stability, as well as the increased influence in the cocoa industry company-ownership brings.

So any egg you get from Divive, whether this one, or a different one – or even just a  single bar of chocolate is going to help farmers in this company cut out the middle-man and improve their own lives. Divine is adding two brand new products to its Easter 2012 collection. A luxury dark chocolate egg comes with a bar of Divine’s bestselling ginger & orange chocolate bar and joins the milk chocolate luxury egg with praline mini eggs. I, of course, am trying the choccy one and not the praline eggs. YAY!

All Divine’s Easter eggs are free from artificial flavourings, colourings and preservatives and are suitable for vegetarians. Reducing the environmental impact of our packaging is important to Divine, as they see the world from the perspective of cocoa farmers, who like other smallholders around the world are disproportionately feeling the effects of climate change. Their Easter eggs have never used plastic packaging which you have to use a small chainsaw to get into and they have always kept cardboard use and waste to a minimum. All Easter cardboard packaging is suitable for recycling.  YAY!

The chocolate is, as always, lovely. I’m not the world’s biggest fan of the chocolate bar so I gave it to husband to try and he loved it. I can imagine that a chocolate lover would really immensely enjoy this egg and it doesn’t matter if they like or don’t like the bar because they can *share* and they’ll know that each bite of the delicious dark chocolate that they take helps farmers.

The dark chocolate is delicious and on a par with much more expensive eggs in my opinion. The foil is slightly loose and so my egg didn’t look absolutely perfect but who cares? It has a bow and some others didn’t and it has a whole bar of chocolate as well as having completely recyclable packaging!

OMG how cute is this?!? Now, this isn’t quite as visually stunning as the heart which I had such trouble breaking but it is still absolutely cute as a button and there are a whole series of images! This Donna Wilson Easter egg design has been hand-painted on white chocolate over a layer of dark chocolate which means you get a bit of sweet and a bit of dark in each bite. For a kid this is delightful egg with good, high quality chocolate, getting them into the habit of eating good quality chocolate at a young age. Check out the Russian doll eggs too as the fox is cute as a button!

For an adult, the chick egg is filled with 6 handmade ganaches and 2 solid chocolate squares and packed in a beautiful Rococo limited edition box which weighs 160g. The chocolate egg is absolutely delightful and yummy. It seems a shame to break it but I broke into it. I love the way the chocolate layers break unevenly with each layer showing itself as unique.

The chocolates inside are each different, and I believe that each egg many have a different selection. In fact, if you buy it at the shop in an unsealed box you might be able to pick your 6 chocolates – you never know until you try!

I love the way this is coloured, wrapped in tissue and boxed in a small box with very little excess packaging. It arrived in the post safely and was unbroken and I love that this was achieved with not much packaging. I think the six chocolates are just perfect and the whole package is absolutely perfect. The chocolate is a really good quality and not cheap and sugar-filled. The ganache chocolates are really good quality and deliciously yummy – a sweet treat which isn’t too sweet.

All in all, this is a really excellent Easter Egg which is a little bit unique, a little bit artistic and a lot of fun. If you’d like to get your very own, why not visit a Rococo shop and buy one – or a few!
