Easter is one of our favourite holidays of the year and for good reason – chocolate!
This sweet treat has been part of Easter festivities for centuries, from gifting a box of chocolates to indulging in an Easter Egg hunt.
The tradition of eating chocolate at Easter dates back to Christian Europeans who exchanged eggs as symbols of rebirth during Lent.
This evolved into candy-filled eggs made from sugar paste or marzipan, later replaced by hollowed-out chicken eggs, filled with sweets and small toys.
Much later, solidified cocoa butter was used to make edible chocolate eggs…and the rest is history.
