re-birth of Jesus after His death on the cross. In the UK and Europe, the earliest Easter eggs were painted and decorated, a practice still carried on in many parts of the world today. As time passed by, the first chocolate Easter eggs appeared in Germany and France in the early 1800’s and soon spread to the rest of Europe. The first chocolate eggs were solid and they were soon followed by hollow eggs. By the 20th Century, the moulded Chocolate Easter Egg was fast becoming the Easter gift of choice in the UK and many parts of Europe, and by the 1960’s it was well established worldwide.
Today you can find almost any Easter Egg of your choice, from the first mass-produced chocolate Easter Egg manufacturer Cadbury to your favourite organic Easter Egg chocolate gifts. So no matter what your chocolate Easter Egg preference or beliefs of the origins of Easter are, we can all agree that Easter is a time to celebrate and enjoy the festivities that surround this weekend.
