Well, i think that this will be the first year that I havent had an Easter Egg to snarf on the sofa!!!

Are there any low-carb versions?!?!? I love Green & Blacks organic chocolate - I wonder if they do an egg ... still I know that I would chomp WAY too much in one sitting!!!

Anyone doing anything exciting for Easter?!?! Hope you all have a great one!!!

I've heard a Thorntons one mentioned a couple of times on here - I guess it will have malitol in it though if you're particularly sensitive to that.

I don't normally think about easter - couldn't tell you the last time I had an easter egg!

Hi lindy,

Green and Blacks do make easter eggs I have seen them in the larger supermarkets. Not sure what the carb counts would be though.

Hi,

I've noticed they are selling some on the internet sites. I think low carb megastore has a few easter chocolate things.

Good luck with you easter egg hunt!

Hi Lindy

Ive definately seen a thornton's diabetic Easter Egg, looked yummy, but must admit didnt get round to checking out the carb content !

i found some sugar free russell stover marshmallow eggs at a walmart! i haven't had one yet, but i gave some to a friend and she said they were wonderful! i'm waiting for easter sunday! i am afraid if i try them now, i'll eat too many BEFORE easter! haha!

talkin about thorntons - have just purchased some yummy looking diabetic chocolate, now am a bit confused about the carb count - am i right in thinking that i subtract the polyol number from the total carb count??

if this is right then i am a happy bunny!!!!!!


(p.s) have already eaten most of them so please give the right answer!!!!!!!!!!

carbcranky, yep that's right, subtract the polyols.

Really - boy it may not be my first year without an easter egg after all!

pricey, i wouldnt mind having a go but it aint suitable for veggies

odear dont think this diabetic choc was such a good idea after all............has made me v poorly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Was feeling off before Easter and succumbed to one of the Brownies caramel Easter eggs. Boy was it sweet. Anyway, glad to report it did no real damage. A Brownie did buy me an Easter egg and I'm pleased that that is still in its wrapping.

Did not see many Easter eggs in Barcelona, where I spent Easter, so not tempted. Was surprised to see sugar free turon in the Duty free at the airport, so brought some as a treat.

This is no longer topical, I know, but Green and Blacks certainly do make a 70% cocoa solids chocolate egg - cos I had one on Easter Sunday! They sell them in Tesco, even. I believe there is even more than one style - I had the one with a few small extra "noisette fudge" style eggs, which I don't really like.

Also, I think Lindt do a high cocoa solids egg - with dark chocolate thins, I think.

Things are certainly improving in the supermarket from the first year I was low carbing and had to make my own (rather disastrous) eggs at Easter. In fact, I still do make a few of my own, and this year I enjoyed my homemade coconut/chocolate little eggs more than the shop-bought one.
