As a nation, it seems that we've decided a bog-standard Creme Egg just isn't going to cut it anymore. We've got Oreo eggs, Cadbury's Caramel eggs and most wonderful of all, the sacred Reece's Peanut Butter egg-treat.
Following on from this, it seems that a boring old milk chocolate egg isn't good enough anymore either and now Easter eggs are getting pimped up too.
Chocolate eggs with popping candy, jellies and even Marmite (nah, you're alright) have been appearing on shelves in supermarkets and it just means that I'm probably going to end up buying twice as many this year, to be honest.
Now, though, we've got something even more special.
Posh chocolate brand Prestat have gone and made an Easter egg inspired by gin and tonic. Yep, you read that right. A gin and tonic Easter egg.

Has science gone too far? I mean, don't get me wrong, I like gin and tonic and I like chocolate, but I'm not sure if I'd like them together. I'll have to buy ten, eat them all and find out, I guess.
The egg features milk and white chocolate, gin and the 'magical fizz' of tonic (I'm thinking that's probably the aforementioned popping candy coming into play).

The egg itself is milk chocolate with lemon oil, because let's face it, what is a gin and tonic without a slice of lemon? Inside there are some fancy truffles, which are flavoured with gin and lemon and covered in white chocolate.

Oh, and there will be fizzy tingles on your tongue thanks to the 'secret ingredient' - again, I'm going to say that's almost certainly popping candy, sorry to ruin the secret.
OK, yeah. I've just talked myself into getting one of these. Anyone else who fancies one can get it from Prestat's website for £17.50, which might sound a bit steep for a chocolate egg, but fuck it. Treat yo' self.
