What's your favourite brand of Easter egg?

From chocolate shops to supermarkets, Easter eggs are no doubt in abundance at the moment. And, while Easter may still be several weeks away, it seems that many of these chocolate treats have been flying off the shelves. This year, some stores such as Tesco have decided to slash the prices on some of their range of cocoa products for a limited time. But, it’s not just price which Britons will consider when buying an Easter egg - with the size, aroma, texture and quality of egg coming into play.
