Ferrero Rocher White Chocolate & Hazelnut Egg - 250g

In Britain, Easter is counted in eggs. The supermarket aisles fill up weeks ahead, and the Ferrero Rocher egg sits at the posh end of the shelf: the one you buy for someone you want to impress, or quietly for yourself after a long week.

Plenty of people in Canada remember Easter Sunday as a pile of foil-wrapped eggs on the kitchen table and a firm rule about not cracking one before breakfast. The rule never held. Spotting the white chocolate and hazelnut version from Britain brings that whole morning straight back, which is why it gets searched for by name.

A 250g egg is a good weight to hand over: big enough to share round the table, small enough that you could, in theory, keep it to yourself. Store it somewhere cool and dry, well away from the radiator, and ideally out of sight if it is meant to survive until Sunday.

The people who buy this tend to be the people who reach for the gold-wrapped Rocher at any excuse, so it often ends up in the basket next to a box of those. Others pair it with a couple of smaller British Easter eggs, so the children have something to argue over that is not this one.
