Easter Egg

I received a gorgeous Easter Egg this year. And - after opening it - realised how well produced / designed the egg and packaging were, hand-in-hand.

• Firstly, the circular tube + the base of the chocolate egg: the chocolate base is poured to just the right diameter to fit in the tube. The base keeps the egg steady in the packaging.

• Secondly, there is a hole in the back. At first I thought it was useful for getting out the little chocolates (theegg is full to the brim of little chocolates!) but then, of course, I realised the reason for this hole wasforgetting the little chocolates into the big egg in the first place!

• And thirdly, the chocolatier's name was displayed on the front of the chocolate egg in a square of chocolate dyed red. Yum!

The chocolate is delicious. Thank you, Monsieur Pierre Marcolini and, indeed the aunt who presented me with it ;)
