M&S launches Percy Pig and Colin the Caterpillar giant chocolate faces for Easter

Percy Pig and Colin the Caterpillar are both synonymous with Marks & Spencer so it stands to reason they'll feature heavily in their Easter selections.

This year the retailer is selling a giant chocolate face of each of the characters and they're already selling fast.

They're both adorable of course and no child, or adult for that matter, would be disappointed with either.

The giant face is hollow and there's nothing else in the box, except for the 170g head of either pink or white chocolate.

So which one tastes better?

Well it all depends which chocolate you prefer really. If you've never had Percy Pig chocolate before, it's not the typical pink chocolate you get with pink mice for instance, it's fruit flavoured, which while sounding a little strange, is actually pretty tasty.

The white chocolate is what you'd usually expect from white chocolate, albeit a decent one and not the cheap sort.

That's probably why they're not particularly cheap, at £6 a pop, but then again it's the character you're really shelling out for isn't it.

There are other items in the range too, including traditional shaped Easter eggs, with either Percy Pig sweets or a bag of white chocolate mini Colin faces and egg hunt buckets with eight chocolate eggs in each and either a mini bag of Percy Piglets, or some mini Colin faces.

You can buy the eggs in store or online via the Ocado website.
