Easter is coming, and I love Easter eggs.
The style, the lovable shapes the chocolate is moulded into, the limitless spin-offs that every confectionery firm whips up, the frantic scramble to acquire as many eggs as doable on the household celebration, regardless of being 20 years older than any of the opposite opponents.
So a lot so, my sister and I used to stack every of ours both facet of the fireside, to our mum’s dismay, the world file yr coming in at 18 eggs every.
Let’s simply not point out the fateful yr, during which upon coming back from our dad’s on the weekend, we opened the cabinet to eat our coveted, saved-for-a-special-occasion Crunchie Rocks egg, with Crunchie items embedded contained in the shell, to discover it had vanished.
My mum had eaten it. This was 2002, and it was a really uncommon egg on the time. No one was embedding something into any of the edges. We nonetheless haven’t forgiven her.
So think about my delight when I was handed the duty of style testing Easter eggs, after claiming I could match every style to its model, primarily based on style alone.
In the pursuits of equity, I was blindfolded, and had the eggs damaged up into equal sized items for me. I then had every one handed to me at random, with a palette cleanser of a glug of milk in between. The good mixture.
The eggs have been damaged into comparable sized items, to make sure the blind check was truthful
I selected to pattern Aldi’s spin on a Lindt bunny, M&S’ Alfie bunny, an upmarket Aldi egg, a Malteasers egg and in fact, a Cadbury egg, the perfect of all the Easter Eggs.
By blind tasting, I could additionally see objectively which was the tastiest.
Do you assume I could appropriately match them up?
Read on or watch the video to discover out.
Egg one
My Guess: Cadbury’s
Flavour profile: The second this touched my tongue I knew it was a Cadbury’s egg. The staple chocolate of the nation, really in all probability the world, can’t be overwhelmed.
Particularly in skinny kind, as discovered of their Easter eggs, and adorned with cute little chicks carved into its shell. Delicious. And they’re solely 99p!
Overall score: 10/10
Egg two
My Guess: Aldi bunny
Flavour profile: A bit bland. I struggled to get a lot flavour till it had melted proper down in my mouth.
Then it was fairly good, however no comparability to its Lindt cousin, if I have gotten the best guess. Not dangerous for the value although whether it is Aldi’s, because it was solely £1.50.
Overall score: 5/10
Egg three
My Guess: Malteasers
Flavour profile: I know this flavour, I’m fairly assured that is the Nestlé Malteaser egg.
It’s good, however I discover their chocolate a bit too sickly for me. Priced competitively with Cadbury’s although, additionally 99p.
Overall score: 6/10

Egg 4
My Guess: Marks and Spencer
Flavour profile: This egg was comparable to egg quantity two, however had a far smoother end and depth of flavour.
As I had already had my Aldi bunny guess, I thought it had to be M&S, which might make sense on the £5 price ticket – the costliest of the bunch by fairly a distance. However, they did produce other eggs in retailer at 95p, I simply couldn’t resist cute little Alfie.
Overall score: 7.5/10

Egg 5
My Guess: Aldi’s posh one
Flavour profile: This had some shock crunchy bits inside, which added a pleasant twist and one thing totally different to the opposite 4.
By this level, it was tasting a bit on the sickly facet, however that’s in all probability down to the actual fact it was my fifth Easter Egg in a row. It was undoubtedly a pleasant tasting chocolate, and I’d return for extra. If it’s Aldi’s premium egg and my guess was appropriate, it’s £3.99
Overall score: 7.5/10
