might have been more inducement to buy it”.

HOTEL CHOCOLAT
The Ostrich Easter Egg
When we first started making our Easter eggs 14 years ago, experts
told us to make them as thin as possible. We did the opposite, making
ridiculously thick shells to hide our chocolates in.
We went and measured an Ostrich egg to make sure we weren‟t
exaggerating. This is the big one, our largest ever Easter egg, with
two giant, extra-thick eggshells of 40% milk chocolate full of crispy
puffed rice and crunchy cookies.
Inside there are 27 chocolates filled with mellow pralines, molten
caramels, champagne truffles, tangy fruits and other delights. And
you‟ll have to go hunting for the gold foil-wrapped egglets hidden in
the tissue paper!
