Why Do We Eat Chocolate Eggs at Easter ?

Easter and chocolate go hand in hand, but have you ever wondered why ? The tradition of giving eggs at Easter dates back centuries and is deeply rooted in the symbolism of new life and re-birth.

Before chocolate eggs became popular, early Christians exchanged real eggs, often painted or dyed, as a representation of Jesus' resurrection. Eggs were also forbidden during Lent, so people would decorate them and enjoy them as a celebration once Easter arrived. This tradition continued for hundreds of years until chocolate became more widely available in Europe. By the 19th century, chocolatiers in France and Germany started crafting the first chocolate Easter eggs and in 1873 the first chocolate egg was introduced to the UK by the family owned confectionery company Fry's.

Today, chocolate eggs are an essential part of Easter celebrations - and we believe they should be as luxurious as possible!
