I'll stick to my praline chocolate eggs that I got sent from the Alsace thank you very much

As much as it pains me to say it, the French do make amazing Easter Eggs. Our local boulangerie (Multari for those who know this area) is open tomorrow morning to flog their eggs, which are usually spectacular :cool:

Come on you're an honourary frog now - be proud of it dammit!

Yeah, be proud of the fact that you're an honourary frog, not a real one

But yes, the French do make good praline chocolate eggs. I've got a few sitting in the office in Paris waiting for me to devour them next week.

Haha seller was in Heckmondwike, I could have walked down my road and picked it up if i'd have won lol. I'll bet it was my fat friend Nathan

The giant KitKat chucky was great as was the massive Toffee Crisp even if the choclate didn't have the right texture to it.

There was some right crap ones though.

Such as the rice crispise covered in white choclate and the double decker effort was just shocking.

/looked through all
/was and is bored

Meh, I get Cadbury's Easter Creme eggs over here. They rule!!

In fact, I'm going to go get mine out of the cupboard now!!

[edit] Oh, and there's nothing more impressive than watching a woman's full enjoyment of a good chocolate!! The pure definition of asexual porn!!

Rubbish. Had he done it properly, he would have added a bit more chocolate. The whole egg is out of proportion to creme.

I actually filled my g/fs Aero easter egg with melted Galaxy chocolate.

It worked quite well, although its a pain keeping the melted chocolate at a heat making it easy to pour but cool enough not to melt the egg.

G/f found that same creme egg pic/guide on a cross-stitch forum she visits now and again.

couldnt you wrap the large egg in foil, and place it in some cold water with ice cubes, leave it for a bit so the egg is nicely chilled.

Top up the water with more ice, then pour in the melted chocolate, and hope the ice cold water keeps the egg from melting too much - while allowing the foil to potentially contain any leaks?

you could also use a phase change unit I guess

be cool to try something like that
