easter chocolate!

I have always loved Easter--after I was an adult for the wonderful news it conveys and for the treats when I was a child. But I still love the chocolate though my scale screams "Don't, PLEASE DON'T!!!!!" I remember one Easter I got a beautiful spun sugar egg with a peep hole in it with beautiful frosting roses around it. Inside was an Easter Bunny with a basket of eggs. The whole thing was gorgeous, so much so that I wouldn't eat it but one day it was gone...I think my brother ate it! I have never seen one since. Another thing that I haven't seen since childhood is big chocolate eggs, they were round like eggs, and inside were fruits and nuts in some kind of wonderful confection. It was some kind of semi-firm cream but soft enough to melt in your mouth. We each got one of those, some jelly beans and a couple of "peeps". Not much by today's standards but it was a lot to us. I especially loved dying eggs with my mom and siblings the night before! Have a blessed Easter and rejoice in His love.

Happy Belated Easter, pergammano! I've barely been on myLot lately . . . I just saw your post here and wanted to respond!! I've missed our communique! Hmmmm. Like Old MacDonald's farm . . . with chocolate here and chocolate there . . . here a chocolate, there a chocolate, EVERYWHERE some chocolate!!! We had bought some to make "goodie bags" for the family, and when we finally did up the bags, well, um, we realized the bags wouldn't be as stuffed as we thought . . . much of it got munched on days before! And then the rest of the family made their goodie bags too . . . I think we have enough chocolate to last us ... til next week - ha ha!! I especially like the ones that are peanut butter filled - like the Reese's peanut butter eggs - and out of that whole bag I bought, we were only had ONE to put in each bag - ha ha. My 2 year old got a hold of the hollow rabbit my mother gave to him . . . he immediately ripped up the foil and ate about 3/4 of it all by himself! Oh yes, the Easter bunny did his job VERY well - ha ha. Hope you had a wonderful Easter - chocolate and all!!! Guess what - we GOT a house (well, it's in escrow now . . . but in about a month, we move!). Will spare the details for another time - the little is a calling for me now . . . but things are coming along!!!!!!!! How are you doing?

The Easter Egg culture is not so popular here in India although the Confectioneries do have loads of them for sale. I am not much into Easter celebrations but Christmas is what I look forward to. You can fool yourself but not your tummy when an Easter rabbit gets in there. It will know it is chocolate! Have a great Easter perga... the Canadian way.

Dear pergammano Chocolates and me... We here as Hindus dont have such a festival but we do get to have a lot of other festivities where the sweets are sought after. Unfortunately, I dont prefer the simple sweets instead a choco thing is much preferable... I had a big Choco yesterday too and though we dont get such stylized chocos at my place, I am sure sometime when I am in a bigger metro city, I might find some ideas... Happy Easter to you my dear

Hahah here in our house my mom used boiled egg with attached money on it. HAPPY EASTER

This is an interesting way to put things. Maybe I should try that next time, but most of the time anytime I have chocolate it is in the Bar kind. But when holidays come around you could eat them in animal form, and tell people you ate that, and most would never assume anything different.

I like the gum in the shape of Easter eggs. Yummy!

I had the bunny and the eggs, but no chicks. Got to have something to lay more eggs with again. Ha, ha! Take care

hi pergammano oh yes indeed. although I am diabetic I still cheat a bit with chocolate bunnies and eggs galore. I once won a good sized chocolate bunny for a bingo prize and had a hard time keeping from eating too much chocolate at a time.Happy Easter right back at you.For diabetics its a bit of a tricky time but with your handy glucometer yo u can check your blood glucose and still eat your chocolate eggs and b unnies too in moderation. lol

I am SO proud of myself. I have a bag full of little foil wrapped chocolate eggs hidden on my shelf where it has been for weeks ... and I have NOT broken into it and pinched any I must go out in a moment and do my annual Easter Bunny impression and hide them around the garden for the kids. Happy Easter!

My dearest pergammano, Although this response is rather late, my apologies, I am quite the chocolate fan and look for most any reason to have some Easter is certainly one of those holidays that make for a perfect reason to by a ton of it..LOL. I made my girls...and of course my daughter's b/f,Easter baskets full of goodies. I usually personalize them by age and needs. My daughter has been feeling a little down lately because of the weight thing so her basket consisted of a little chocolate and a whole lot of things that would make her feel better about herself..ex.hair products,lotions..etc. It worked too...she looked like she felt like a million dollars when she left that day. I hope you had a wonderful Easter with lots of chocolates and goodies!

So what about garlic shaped chocolate? Happy Easter to you too my friend. I am happy with my green smoothie for my Easter Sunday breakfast right now. It is delicious, but I might sneak some chocolate in later!

I remember fondly the wonderful, exquisite chocolate eggs my dear father used to bring home for us when he worked in London. Not only were the eggs themselves works of art but the boxes were gorgeous too! The boxes lasted for years, not like the cheap nasty ones around nowadays. They were so well made that they often ended up as jewellery and keepsakes boxes. He didn't have a lot of money to spend in those far off days but chocolate didn't cost an arm and a leg the way it does now!
