A chocolate lover has tested a £160 giant Easter egg from Cocoba Chocolate, delivering a verdict that has divided opinion. The 4kg egg, standing 51cm tall, was described by Instagram user @bigdaddybsfoods as 'milky, creamy, tasty and more-ish', but he noted it was £100 two years ago, calling the £60 increase 'wild' during a cost-of-living crisis.
While he praised the taste and presentation, scoring it 8/10, he admitted the egg is 'a bit of a gimmick' unless shared among a large group, such as a family of ten. Some followers were enthusiastic, with one claiming they could 'get through that in a week', while another said they would 'eat that in one day'.
However, critics questioned the value. One follower commented: '8/10? We're not taking price into account anymore? You could literally buy the mould and 10kg of nice chocolate and make your own for that.' Another noted the egg is 'so big to just be plain', suggesting it would become tedious.
Cocoba Chocolate's blurb describes the egg as 'expertly made from exquisite milk chocolate' and 'hand-decorated by talented chocolatiers'. The company has also updated packaging to reduce breakages, following feedback.
