Maltesers Teasers Egg - 155g

In Britain the Easter eggs turn up in the shops weeks early, and the backbone of the aisle is the big-name egg: the one with your favourite chocolate on the box. Teasers took the Maltesers malty crunch and put it into a bar. This puts it into an egg.

People in Canada search for it because a generic egg is fine, but it is not the one from home. If Maltesers were your sweets growing up, this is the Easter egg that actually tastes like Easter.

It is a hollow 155g egg in its box, a good size for one person and a reasonable one for two who get along. Keep it somewhere cool and dark, well away from the radiator, and it will happily wait for Sunday. Then snap the shell into pieces and pass them round, or hide it and watch the hunt get competitive.

Plenty of people pick up a bag of Maltesers to go with it, for the grown-ups who claim they are not having any. Others make up a little pile of British eggs so every child at the table gets their own, and nobody has to negotiate.
