sorry to hear that Marrers, i liked the sample ones i had but maybe i prefer things a bit less sweet.
I've just had a reply from Elizabeth Shaw about that Easter egg I bought, it said on the front of the box 'with honeycomb crisp pieces'. I've just been told that it's not actually 'honeycomb' but just sugar! hooray! I've had to look at that egg all over Easter, now it'll be gone in half an hour! :)
Me and my daughter have just been eating the Easter egg while watching Desperate Housewives on Sky Plus! It is absolutely gorgeous! There is only a little bit left so I've put that in the fridge for my son to try later! I think I'll go today and see if I can get another one! :)
It's a bit late now... but found some instructions for making a Giant creme egg! from scratch:

Looks like it could be veganised - if you can find some vegan red and yellow food colouring and liquid glucose (not sure if the super cook brand used is...)
Pure sugary heaven! :D
lol - I love pimp that snack. The one where they used dozens of real creme egg fillings looked *gross* and led me at the time (in the summer when I had too much time to look through LOADS of pimp that snacks!) to google for various fondant recipes. Never got round to it though so thanks for posting that. Mr Flibble used to have some glucose but alas, no more. You can get it from some health food shops though. May have to try that for next year :)
If that filling really is an accurate immitation that I say we just make a big batch of it to eat straight from the saucepan :D
my family is mad.
i got a half eaten kilogramme bag of figs for my easter pressie :confused:
i do like figs..but um..
am i ungrateful or does this seem like 'castoffs' to anyone?
You haven't been complaining of constipation lately have you? Maybe for Easter they wanted to give the gift of regularity :D
*chortles*
i'm now looking for fig recipes ;)
If you have 'Vegan With A Vengeance' she has a recipe for fig not-ins which sound like fig rolls.
heh..nutter! :rolleyes:
thought i'd bring this thread back just in case people didn't realise there are vegan easter eggs
I have a Montezuma's egg waiting for me in the kitchen!
My first vegan Easter and I think my husband (very lovely and supportive even though he is omni) has got me some Booja Booja stuff. Can't wait to try it!!
i don't have any eggs. :( which day are you suppose to eat them?
I've seen Green and Blacks have easter eggs for about £3 - the Maya Gold and the 70% dark chocolate should be vegan. So I'll treat myself on Saturday, I think. Not as nice as some booja booja champagne truffles.
You're supposed to eat them on Easter Sunday, first thing.
My son's insisting on a creme-egg-alike. I've got to practice making fondant. We've got some egg moulds and some sainsbury's dairy-free "soya" chocolate.
booja booja is amazing!! their hazelnut crunch truffles, omg they r soo good, better than any non vegan truffles ive ever had!
My son usually buys me a Green & Blacks egg. Hotel Chocolat have a vegan egg this year - looks delicious but it's £20. Ouch.
I had a small vegan cream egg form the vegan shop in Brum and Waitrose had the Kinnerton vegan eggs with vegan jelly sweets in at £1 yesterday winnie the pooh and Simpsons all reduced, also a big kinnerton vegan egg at £5.
Thorntons dark choc eggs are £2.99 with the 'may contain milk traces' bit on the back as they are made on the same line as the milk ones.
My GF hinted at a Green & Blacks egg in the supermarket but as a treat I've bought her a real chickens egg instead.
instead of eggs i bought myself a selection of raw choc bars from the rawchocolateshop online - which i've started already! :D
I've been in two minds about the Tesco Finest plain choc egg with the freeze dried red berries in it. It looks so beautiful, and the ingredients look vegan, but it doesn't even say "suitable for vegetarians" on the box. I've bought my oh a stack of G&B bars as a back up, but I'd love to buy the fruity egg. Anyone know if it's vegan?
I've already eaten most of my Green & Black's egg - still got the Cherry and Almond bars that came with it though...well done me! :o
Scoffed my Lindt mini eggs last week....:o:o
Well - if I am given them early.....:rolleyes: My name is Holly and I am a chocoholic.
^ a real easter bunny?
A sock in the jaw?
We only seem to have the all chocolate eggs over here and they get very boring! :(
I miss the Easter Eggs with the little chocolates inside...........I don't see why they can't make vegan ones.........or if they do I've never seen one.
Parents have brought me a Kinnerton vegan egg with a bar of choc too.
Just been to the garden centre and they had all the eggs half price and had no less than 5 vegan ones, was quite suprised, have brought 1 aunt a winnie the pooh vegan egg, my uncle a walkers mint egg and my other aunt green and blacks egg, they also had aonther egg we got for my dad celtic chocolates gluten free vegan egg with mint choc crisps, id not heard of that make before?
My easter choc collection, will have to take to work to share!

I got a ring instead of an egg for easter, the one I had been wanting for aaaaaaaaages, very happy bunny ! (and I get to eat most of the chocolate I gave him :D )
Wow, Scarlett, that's good going!
My Montezuma's egg is lovely. Thick choc on the egg (which is/was huge!) and the mini truffles are very yummy!!
Alison, you are going to get very fat!!!
I think its guilt from all the years he has forgotten to get things ! :D
I've just put some half price Montezuma truffle mini eggs into my basket on the goodness direct site, and maybe one or two eggs also :o
I got the hotel chocolat egg from my boyf :D i've eaten all the chocs that came in it already and now i feel sick :/
Got two green and blacks eggs, one plain and one maya gold from mum and boyfs mum and i treated myself to a swiss organica bar and some divine mini eggs.
yumyum!! Good job i'm going to the gym tmo...haha
i got given a g&b 70% egg. yuck, it's so bitter! i made it into rice krispy cakes in the hope that it would taste better that way, but no, it still tastes awful...
