Calories in ½ Aero Collection Chocolate Egg Shell: 545kcal After Eight Premium Dark Chocolate Egg, Nestle Britvic is an international soft drinks business rich in history and heritage. Founded in England in the 1930s, it has grown into a global organisation with 37 much-loved brands sold in over 100 countries. Presentation-wise, the box is bright and colourful with a hole for you to see the egg inside, a classic Cadbury move - but the interior was a lot of plain white card, leaving a lot to be desired. This year, Nestlé’s factory in Halifax made a staggering 14.7 million Easter eggs, including KitKat, Smarties, Aero, Rolo and Lion branded eggs.

In the box, you'll find one giant chocolate egg made with smooth, creamy milk chocolate and three full sized bars of KitKat Chunky with Lotus Biscoff pieces. The Kitkat bunnies are quite nice, too. The chocolate is nice, like the egg, with small pieces of wafer inside them. Would I rather have actual Kitkats in the Easter Egg? Of course. But it's a nice addition that makes it feel more like an Easter egg. Nestlé, which owns nearly 30% of L’Oréal, conducts animal testing. In 2015 Nestlé was accused of cruel animal experimentation by Cruelty Free International. The experiments, conducted on dogs, mice, hamsters, rats and pigs, attempted to investigate the positive health benefits of the companies’ products and to identify potential benefits that could be marketed. A brand new innovation, Aero Melts are delicious buttons of light and bubbly chocolate that melt effortlessly in the mouth for a moment of chocolatey indulgence. Last but not least, we have Nestlé's KitKat Easter Egg. This box consists of an 150g chocolate egg and two 29g KitKat bunnies, coming to 208g overall. The chocolate egg comes in at 795 calories, made up of eight recommended servings of just under 100 calories.

Melt the chocolate, golden syrup and butter in a bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water). Stir the mixture until smooth. The flavour for the egg was good, very similar to the chocolate you would find on KitKat bars, it has a sweetness to it but still a rich cocoa flavour. It was the second-best tasting chocolate egg, behind Cadbury, and was a nice surprise. Nestlé eggs used to be a bit underwhelming but it looks like they've improved the taste a bit. Mars Wrigley offers a Maltesers Bunny, which is the UK’s most successful chocolate product in the novelty shapes category, says Padt. “We feel this product is the signpost of the season, officially signalling consumers that Easter is coming. Last year, Maltesers Bunny value sales grew by an impressive 53.6%, driven by sales of the classics as well as new products in the category. Sadly, it doesn't get better from there. At first, I thought the chocolate was a little less impressive than the standard of Galaxy that I know, but then I realised why. The chocolate egg itself is exactly the same as the Malteser egg. Also new to the Rowntree's range are Jelly Tots Tropical Tots. A vegan friendly treat, Tropical Tots are made with real fruit juice and come in five tangy flavours: passion fruit, peach, pineapple, grapefruit and mango. Jelly Tots Tropical Tots are available exclusively in Tesco stores from the middle of February.Remove the bowl from the heat and gently stir in the cornflakes until all of the cereal is coated in the chocolate. One half of the shell is 40% milk chocolate, while the other is 50% and the chocolate eggs inside consist of a range of flavours including salted caramel cream, pistachio, vanilla and raspberry. This egg wants you to know that your Easter eggs don’t have to be dark chocolate to be fancy or grown-up and we definitely agree. The After Eight peppermint chocolate bunny took our testers by surprise. 6. After Eight Peppermint Chocolate Easter Bunny It was a bit more of a plain flavour, a more basic, cheaper chocolate, almost. It wasn't off-putting, but could have been better. The breakability was good, though, the chocolate was a little thinner than the Cadbury egg and broke easily into lots of smaller pieces. Coppins and Duignan take on the Nomo Sea Salt and Caramel Egg, the only vegan entry in this ranking.
