WINNER OF 'BEST ORGANIC DARK CHOCOLATE EASTER EGG'

'This glossy egg is completely organic and made from 72% cocoa. It’s one for true dark chocolate fans, with an intense bitterness and complex notes of toasted nuts and coffee. And despite the shell being luxuriously thick, our testers said it melts on the tongue. 

Each egg also comes filled with chocolate buttons made from the same quality chocolate.'
