Ferrero Rocher Milk Chocolate & Hazelnut Egg 250g

Easter in Britain means eggs stacked up the supermarket aisles long before anyone has thought about hot cross buns. Most of them are aimed squarely at the under-tens. The Ferrero Rocher egg sits at the grown-up end, the one you buy for someone rather than for the school run.

From Canada, the search is usually for that exact egg, the one from home. You want Easter to taste the way it did, and a different egg, however nice, is just a different egg.

It is a proper 250g egg, enough to go round the table if you are feeling generous and enough to keep to yourself if you are not. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from the sunny windowsill, and it will wait patiently for Easter Sunday. Then crack it on the table and let everyone pretend to be polite.

Ferrero Rocher is best known for the gold-wrapped round chocolates that turn up at every gathering going, and plenty of people pick up a box of those alongside. Others add a couple of smaller UK eggs for the kids, so this one stays safe.
