Whew, this Easter flew around, didn’t it?

Another Bank Holiday to look forward to, a mountain of untouched eggs to chow our way through.

Whether you’re thinking of taking a break from the healthy eating this weekend or you’re determined to stay strong, you’ll find the following interesting…

Cadbury’s Creme Egg (39g)

If you’re looking to get into the spirit of all things sweet, without falling off the healthy eating wagon, a Cadbury’s Creme Egg could be the perfect choice of treat.

Cadbury’s Buttons Easter Egg (162g)

858.6 calories

This size is what would generally be classed as “medium” on the shop shelf. Unless you’re going to scoff the egg all at once, this could easily be a guilt-free chocolate treat to enjoy with a cuppa over the next few days.

Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Large Easter Egg (343g)

1817.9 calories

Green And Black’s Dark Chocolate Medium Easter Egg (180g)

1026 calories

If you’re dead-set on munching into a whopper of an egg, without the calorie guilt, dark chocolate is the way to go. Not only is it rich, satisfying even the sweetest of teeth, but it’s full of anti-oxidants too.

Yummy… we’re counting down the days… 

Kinder Surprise Egg (20g)

Yum. The perfect companion for a cup of tea on Easter morning… or a glass of relaxing red in the evening.

A couple of these could be the way to go if you’re watching your calorie count…

Good luck with the easter egg hunt…
