Asda?s Easter egg claims annual taste test top spot
2 hours 49 minutes ago
Want to impress your friends and family these Easter? Well forget about
splashing out on expensive high end choccie. Our local supermarkets have the
best tasting chocolate eggs, according to experts in an annual taste test.
Asda?s own-brand Belgian chocolate Easter egg has been crowned this year?s
ultimate Easter treat.

The giant egg weighing one kilogram beat luxury offerings from specialist
chocolate brands Fortnam & Mason and Hotel Chocolat.
Chocolate connoisseurs from the Good Housekeeping Research Institute tasted 190
chocolate eggs ranging in price from £1.99 to £26 to find the best options in
four categories, and named ?The Collection Giant Belgian Chocolate Easter Egg?
as the best overall.

The £10 Easter egg from Asda impressed judges with its ?thick, rich, delicious
chocolate? taste, it was credited for being great value for money and a perfect
size for sharing awarding it with an overall score of 79 out of 100.
Fortnum & Mason?s Eggsploding Egg at £25 was only worthy of 54 points and Hotel
Chocolat?s luxury Eggsibitionist which costs £26 scored a mark of 62.
Good Housekeeping Consumer Editor Caroline Bloor said: ?We think the Asda egg
is a deserving winner, proving that a cheaper egg can not only taste delicious
but is excellent overall value.
?The variety of Easter eggs available in 2012 is fantastic but spending more
does not guarantee good value or great taste.?
Other winning favourites included eggs from rival supermarket stores Tesco and
Marks and Spencer. The ?made for sharing? category was won by last year?s
overall winner, Tesco?s £15 Finest Ultimate Belgian Milk Chocolate Egg, scoring
78.
The Institute said: ?The very attractive design and elegant packaging and 30
chocolates was more than enough to secure the judges votes.?
The prize for best egg for adults went to Marks and Spencer?s £15 Luxury Egg
Nest with a score of 63. The experts concluded: ?With its distinctive
bubble-wrap chocolate decoration, this egg would make a lovely gift. Smooth and
creamy, it had a good mix of milk and dark chocolate.?
While the ultimate Easter treat for girls was the £4.99 Nestle Milkybarn Cow
and Egg, scoring 76 for its ?very milky and rich white chocolate ?and for boys
the £5 Chokablok Billionaires Dynamite Egg was praised for its ?crunchy
biscuit, chewy toffee and yummy fudge pieces?.

treats or prefer your local supermarket variety?
