For todays seasonal, confectionary comestible review we bring you Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mini Eggs, picked up by Nigel from Iceland (the shop, not the country) for just £1 per bag.……
……. except they’re not Terry’s their ours! Sorry, a very, very, old joke, but you find us in a frivolous frame of mind!
The most obvious thing we noticed on opening the bag was the powerful but pleasant, unmistakable signature whiff of chocolate orange emanating from said eggs!
We then all very much approved of the outer shell covering the eggs (which was not unlike that on a Smartie), because, we’ll admit to liking a bit of a suck, helping to prolong our confectionary delight, before biting into the egg, as it helps the chocolate inside melt just a little bit first, and well, who doesn’t like melted chocolate?
There were 23 eggs in our bag, no the easiest number to share between three, so we had seven each………..
……… and then, since Nigel had been the one to make the considered purchase, he had the last indivisible two.
And the score on our world Famous Richter Scale of Noms? A pretty impressive and zesty 22/23 out of 100. Why the dropped 1/23 of the 100? Well, we felt justified in dropping the point based on the total number of eggs in the bag, had there been an equally divisible 24 (by 3), they would have undoubtedly scored a full home run of 23/23 out of 100! What are we like?

You can't beat a chocolate orange, whether it belongs to Terry, or someone else.
Tremendous score - how remiss of Terry not to get the correct amount of eggs in his bag, but we'll forgive him as it's Easter. (btw I did try the chocolate eggs you mentioned the other day - the Galaxy Enchanted Eggs, the kind Mr Tesco brought me them) Nom Nommy Nom they were too! JantheFan x
