Easter Eggs

[gavin_55 0]

Hey guys, u remember those big easter eggs u use to get at home in the UK. Well Easter is coming up and i would like to try and get a couple. I have been looking at the larger stores such as walmart and target as well as the grocery stores but no luck so far. Has any seen these around?

They usually don't have the big ones here unless you have a supermarket with an International aisle and then you might see a rare one. My local had a galaxy one at some stupid price. Another option would be to get your friends or family to send one NOW via surface seeing as they're already in the shops over there. Or check out the online Brit stores which I know last year had them. To be honest, if you look at the weight of choc you're paying for it's a HUGE rip off unless you're buying them for kids or something.

I am pretty sure my fiance telling me they didn't do the whole big easter egg thing in the states.....

You can check out online UK/Irish foodstores, but it's really not worth it, cos they charge an arm and a leg...and really, there's not that much chocolate in them anyways. If you have an International aisle in your supermarket or a World Market nearby, hop in and pick up some good old fashioned bars!!

they don't have them in the US AT ALL! I hunted for them last year and I was incredibly disappointed that all you can find here are those stupid little plastic eggs to fill with junky candy and toys... Easter is meant to be an excuse to eat Really Good Chocolate!

A change will do you good

When I was in the US last year, we had some geese. I took some of the eggs and blow them out and the neighbor kids and I painted them.

The American kids never did that before and it was a lot of fun hiding the chocolate eggs in the yard.

Have fun, Anja

I never met Americans that knew or celebrate the easter thingy, not the churchy easter - the chocolate and eggs hanging on tree thingy...
