Reese's Large Egg with Milk & White Peanut Butter Cups - 215g

The large Easter egg is one of the fixtures of the British year. It sits alongside hot cross buns and Sunday lunch, and every chocolate name worth knowing has one on the shelf. Reese's joining that line-up puts a peanut butter favourite into a very British habit.

People in Canada go looking for this because it is the shape Easter took at home: an egg with something extra in the box, opened before breakfast on the one day nobody tells you off for it. It is less about the chocolate and more about the morning.

It weighs 215g, so it is a genuine large egg rather than a token one. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from sunny windowsills and radiators, and it will sit happily in the cupboard until the day. Crack the egg into pieces for sharing and keep the cups back for yourself. Nobody will notice. Everybody will notice.

It pairs well with a pot of tea and a pile of other UK Easter eggs, so the sideboard looks the way it should. Reese's fans tend to pick up a few more peanut butter bits while they are at it.
