hey sheelagh,

what sort of chocolate are you thinking of using, I thought of jkuist buying a huge slab of dairy milk, and bournville. ie "normal chocolate" its for youngsters you see, and sometimes they don;t like "fancy" choc like green and blacks and lindt. I thought about doing white chocolate too, but seeing as i HATE white chocolate, i have no idea what to get other than milky bars.

Hi Sam
They came nice and quickly!
I was just thinking of a big slab of dairy milk. Though was in "Poundland" today and they had some large bars of Toblerone for just a pound each - so thought I might go back and get one or two of those.
Did you get the bags too? If not - I have 30 and only need about half a dozen or so, so could easily send some down to you if you wanted me to.

Shee,

I didn't get bags (i did see them though) i brought pretty cake boxes, 6 for £2.99 in the smallest size and the middle size (also 6 for £2.99) they are white with pretty gold swirls on them, and with gold "cakeboards" the egg mould that i got, fits into the small one, so i can get that "straw" and make the egg look like its in a nest with oher goodies in it.

Am glad to read your also using a big slab of cadburys too, phew.

Thanks Cakes for the date, must get some choccy soon and have a practice (OH has just informed me - he wants one too!!)

Love Sammy

I didn't see the boxes - but I also got some green and yellow "straw" from another shop! - Plan to but the eggs in the bags, tie them up with some pretty ribbon and then nestle them and some of the little Lindt eggs and bunnies in a basket filled with the straw. My children are 16 and 18 and my partner thinks I'm mad!

Sorry to be replying so late to a discussion.... however most interested to read about packaging own-made eggs. On the route of natural and 'green' , I wondered if rafia would do as a 'straw' substitute? probably available in garden centres at the moment.
Sam, Worthing are the 'pretty little cake boxes' also from Lakeland?

This sounds fun. Is cheating out of fashion? I'm a spoil sport I'm afraid because I shall be buying mine.
