I thought I'd review the various types of chocolate I've been sampling this Easter season, in a vain attempt to convince myself that there was actually some discrimination involved in the process, not just a big mouth-shaped Hoover. Firstly, there was the Cadbury 'Chocolate Lover's Egg' which came with four chocolate bars. Verdict: egg was of a good size and thickness, and the additional chocolate choices (Twirl, Wispa, Flake, Dairy Milk) could not be faulted - EXCEPT that the Dairy Milk was cunningly hidden so you only found out when you opened it that it was - dread word - 'snacksize'. Pah.
Secondly, there was the egg we had to get when the first one was polished off before Easter Sunday - the Cadbury Buttons. Verdict: Small but perfectly formed, and the Buttons were, quite properly, INSIDE the egg!
Then there was the gift from grandma, Belgian seashell-style praline bunnies and eggs. Verdict: cheeky and delicious, with a two-layer bonus. But felt utterly sick when we'd eaten them all (ie 20 minutes after opening box.)
And finally, the back to work gift, Cadbury Chocolate Coffee Bites. Verdict: SOOO much better in theory than in practice. There's a REASON why they grind coffee beans and make them into a drink. Now reduced to sucking the chocolate off.
