With the long Easter weekend almost at an end, many will have enough chocolate eggs in their home to last them for months.
Those with a sweet tooth will be excited about that prospect, as Easter eggs are often considered to be a much better snack than your typical chocolate bar - and there's a good reason for that.
Despite the fact they're made of the same ingredients, Ann Murray, the managing director of LIR Chocolates, has shared why Easter eggs seem to taste so much better.
Speaking to The Mirror, the food expert explained: "Easter is one of the loveliest times of year to enjoy chocolate.
"Easter is the time when we traditionally celebrate the end of winter and start to enjoy more light-filled days. For some, it also marks the end of Lent/post-Christmas diets so chocolate Easter eggs are perhaps the best symbol of this.
"A chocolate egg has a different quality to a bar. The egg is spun so that the chocolate is thinner and so melts easily in the mouth, releasing all of the cocoa notes."
And as well as the differing notes, Ann explained that bright and colourful packaging may also 'add to the anticipation'.
And she's not the only one who thinks this. Food scientist Bernard Lahousse also agrees with this idea.
He told MailOnline: "If you look at food more than half of the experience lies outside of the taste. You taste what you make out of it; when you wrap it in a nice package and it is presented to you by the people who love you, it will make the experience much better."
While Easter eggs may be tastier than your typical chocolate bar, some brands are giving you less than they have in previous years.
Some Cadbury's chocolate Easter eggs are slightly smaller in size than they were before. For example, the iconic Dairy Milk eggs still cost £5, but have shrunk from 286g to 245g.
