    Quote laurin
    My family got me some Cadbury Easter Eggs, and I was like "uhhh I can't eat these".

    It was a bit annoying because they bought deserts and treats for everyone and they didn't take the time to find me anything, and to top that off when it came time for dinner, they had put butter on almost all the vegetables.
    Oh, Laurin, I'm sorry That's rather inconsiderate of them! There are plenty of vegan sweets and they should have at least given you something, even if it was not in an Easter shape or wrapper! It would have shown that they respect your values and have taken time to get you something that you would be able to eat...

    Can you talk with your parents and tell them you felt left out?

    And if I were you, I'd go buy myself a lot of sweets

    my mum and dad got me a kinnerton dairy free egg with a choc bar, i ate it in one go and made myself very ill, still it was worth it... my folks are the best. i asked how much it cost and they said £3.50 from asda, bargain.
    cant wait for next year, to be honest i dont even celebrate easter but i do celebrate vegan chocolate..

    Well I got no easter eggs or anything else this year - boo hoo!!! I brought my boyfriend some montezumas mini lime eggs but got nowt from him : 0 (

    I went into montzeumas today and they have some things for sale half price - easter bunnies now £2 (I got two for my parents who return from America tommorrow) There are also there amazing giant eggs for sale for £15 (down from £30). To console myself I brought a bag of choclate drops and now feel sick from eating them!

    Yes, but what happened to the old-style booja booja ones with the amazing copper coloured scrunchy wrapping? It was a box of truffles, with the easter egg on top, and the chocolate was lovely. I'm quite upset you can't get them anymore.

    Cherry, check out their cake tins as well! - Guess which one I ordered?

    I plan to make a few easter eggs this year, although I'm not really up for a full on Easter celebration. There are also quite a choice of sweets at the Co-op which are labelled as vegan which you could fill the handmade eggs with, or get some off veganstore.

    The big egg moulds were already out of stock when I went in! I ordered the smaller ones as I'm worried the well meaning relatives will bye big dairy free eggs for the kids and we'll have choc overload!

    I don't suppose anyone's heard of a near-equivalent to Cadbury Mini-Eggs? I used to love them because of the thick candy coated shell. I'd love to find a vegan chocolate with such a crunchy shell.

    there is a company in the UK that makes these, they're quite hard to find here though so i'm not sure if they're available outside this country. they're available from Veganstore and some wholefood shops sell them.

    They're not exactly like a creme egg but they have fondant inside the egg (blackcurrant or raspberry flavours I think).

A bit of a drive but it's not too tough to make a little bit of a shopping day out of it. Course I usually just do window shopping cause I'm super cheap but that's still fun for me!

    As RW said, blackcurrant and raspberry flavours (didn't they used to do another one as well?) rather than plain and looking like an egg, but they taste nice

    I'm also thinking of getting some moulds to try and do marbled eggs - should be able to come up with something quite pretty using that organica white choc bar stuff with some dark, I should think

    That's what I was planning twinkle! Also I found a recipe for Barfi(hindu sweet) which I veganized and reminds me of the inside of a marathon(now snickers) bar. I'm wondering if I can make the middle of some small eggs with it?!

    Lakeland are doing a set of large and mini eggs moulds for £2.99, shipping is more than deCuisine, but worth looking out for if you've got a branch nearby (I'm hoping my supervisor, who lives in Nottingham, will be able to get me some from that branch!)

    http://www.cakescookiesandcraftsshop.co.uk is where I ordered my buy 2 get 1 free egg moulds and my pretty foil wrappers. I don't GIVE eggs ya gotta FIND them.... oh and easter bunny mould too.

    I am excited about vegan organica white and couveture bars for my eggs; must EAT all my mistakes. I have a thermometer too for tempering choc so that they have a nice 'snap' and good mouth feel -no grey cast- hope I leave some for the rest of the family.

    Another idea: coconut carrots sold at one of those high street nut vendors.... name?

    i had a free sample of some of the most gorgeous Easter eggs in a shop in Brighton this afternoon there's a guy just started a new vegan chocolate business and is selling them through only a couple of local shops. he's doing eggs with truffles inside including peanut butter flavour, vanilla, orange and mint. the eggs themselves are plain, ginger or blueberry. i really wanted to buy one but they cost £15 if only i had someone rich to buy me one!
