When it comes to candy, Easter is to Brits what Halloween is to Americans. For weeks leading up to Easter, huge displays of Easter candy take up vast amounts of space in British supermarkets. We're not just talking about one aisle of delicious Easter treats, but huge displays of chocolate eggs piled up as you walk in, and often throughout the store. And while we do have the chocolate bunnies and Easter-themed treats (no Peeps, though) the real deal is the classic British Easter egg.
These are not the miniature candy eggs you might hide around the yard or the pretty hand-decorated eggs that are more familiar to people in the US. These are big, hollow chocolate eggs that stand about five inches tall, and they are big business.
