The egg boasts a blonde chocolate outer and pistachio-flavoured inner shell. It might seem like Christmas was only yesterday, but for those eagerly anticipating the next bank holiday, it’s time to countdown to Easter (owing to the fact it’s a little later this year, with Easter Sunday landing on 20 April, you will be counting a while). The four-day weekend is a firm favourite for many thanks to the spring-like weather, delicious food and of course Easter eggs.
Many of us favour classic chocolate offerings such as Cadbury’s creme eggs or mini eggs, while others seek savoury alternatives such as cheese easter eggs. Meanwhile, in recent years, differently shaped chocolate goodies have served up most of the Easter fun (M&S’s highland cow springs to mind). Keep reading for everything else you need to know about this decadent Easter treat. This luxe-looking Easter egg features a white chocolate and caramelised sugar shell and a pistachio green inner ‘nut’.
Upon tasting the outer shell, our team found it to be really smooth and creamy, with the caramelised sugar swirled into the white chocolate creating notes of butterscotch on the tongue. The inner pistachio egg is dotted with real pistachio pieces that create a nice texture, the sweetness is offset with a saltiness from the pistachios and subtle pistachio flavour. There’s no doubt that the aesthetic offers an unusual element to Easter egg hunts and Easter Sunday dinner tables, and it’s ideal for those who love pistachio nuts. Plus, it’s made using Fairtrade cocoa and presented in recyclable packaging, too.
