By the time easter rolls around, the big spring clean is in full effect. Blinds have been drawn, dust cleared, and chocolate is more well deserved than ever. Easter means we’ve made it through the first four months of a brand-new year, so what better way to celebrate than with a festive chocolate egg?
What’s more, the kiddos go absolutely bonkers for it. Chocolate the size of one’s own head tends to have that effect on children. It’s important to make sure that you’re buying an Easter egg that is made with children in mind. Though still large, your littlun can enjoy the chocolatey spectacle a few pieces at a time, day by day, without feeling unwell afterwards. That is, if they don’t find your hidden stash of goodies.
Plus, kids’ easter eggs are almost always milk chocolate, which prevents against the potential for tears of frustration and confusion streaming down your child’s face because they’ve accidentally chomped on some dusty, dark chocolate truffle. Instead, they’ll be chomping down on the yummy goodness of their favourite fantasy animals, sea creatures, bunny rabbits and more.
