Have you munched your way through all your Easter Eggs then? I’ve still got a tiny bit of mine left! I know it’s nearly 2 weeks ago now, but I thought you might enjoy a few choccy facts…
We Brits lead the way with our spending on the confectionery, with an average of £72 per head a year, and also on the consumption; devouring 10 kilos on average, or 25% of all the choccy eaten across Europe. Last year we managed, as a nation, to put away 80 million Easter eggs AND 500 MILLION cream eggs!!
The First chocolate egg was produced by Fry’s in 1873
The most expensive egg ever offered was the Diamond Stella Egg last year – A chocolate egg laden with diamonds. It cost a wopping £50,000 !
And finally, the largest egg ever made was a chocolate and marshmallow one, recorded in South Africa in 1996. It weighed 4,068 kilos and it had to be supported by an internal steel frame!
