The Mother of All Easter Eggs

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Imagine 130 eight-square bars of chocolate, 130 x 50g… do the maths, that’s 6.5kg of Easter Egg!  Given that the ‘average’ consumption of chocolate per year in Ireland is 12 kg… that’s more than half your ‘average’ year’s supply.  Then again, maybe you’re above average!!   All in all, it’ll keep you chewing for a while, not to mention make you very popular with friends and family.  There’s a technique for eating such an egg… you’ve got to start from the back end so that it looks impressive for the longest time; as you progress, you’ll have to prop is up to take the bad look off it (pretend you haven’t actually got through the half of it … already!   Suffice it to say, if you’re lucky enough to find youself the proud owner of one of these babies, you’ll certainly be in the ‘above average consumption’ category for this year.

Ideal as gift Easter Baskets - blissful surprise for families, nirvana for chocoholics, redemption for dog-house dudes, perfect raffle prizes (mega powerful for fundraising) and the stuff that dreams are made of!

Come and get your chocolate from the Easter Bunny!
Come and get your chocolate from the Easter Bunny!
Well boys and girls, have you been good for Lent?  Do you deserve a really nice creamy chocolate Easter Egg… well then get yourself to the Chocolate Garden in Baltinglass and pick your egg or better still your bunny!  Eggs range from 50g to 6.5kg so don’t be limited in your choice - milk, dark or white or two-tone if you can’t make up your mind, or if you have to share with your other half who prefers something different to you.
For the more romantic souls out there, we have been known to put in earrings on one occasion, and an engagement ring on another occasion, right inside the egg…. double whammy surprise.  So there’s a novel idea for you if you’re thinking of popping the question.  Just to allay any fears you may have, we do put the jewellry inside an small plastic bag just to keep germs away from the chocolate and chocolate away from the gems.
Basically, what you want, we can most likely do; and if you want some special gift in chocolate, well then we’re yer only man!… www.chocolategarden.ie
