Easter Spectaclar at Lidl Northern Ireland

Spring is well and truly in the air.  Flowers are beginning to bloom and the sun is trying to sneak threw the clouds.  But most importantly the shops are filled with delicious treats that you just cant get all year round!

As everyone knows by now I am a massive foodie who doesn't settle for second best.  Quality is extremely important to me.  I mean who wants to waste calories?  No me that's for sure.

So when I was strolling threw my local Lidl and spotted their Easter range the look of the new beautifully packaged products really tantalised my taste buds.  Now from experience quality doesn't always have to have a recognisable name to be fantastic in fact you can be presently surprised at what you can find.  Although in saying that £2.99 for a luxury Easter egg just seemed too good to be true.  I just knew I had to try this one out for myself.

Packaging
From a first hand glance the packaging was every bit high end and well designed.   Certainly fancy enough to rival some of the more expensive brands on the shelves. Classic black and white gloss packaging set a sleek well groomed tone which works well to showcasing the stand out design of the actual egg inside.

 

Taste

Now down to the most important aspect.  The taste test.  My original plan of action was to open the eggs, take some pictures, upload those and then sit down with a big nice mug of tea and tuck into them with the other half.  You know like normal people.  However the second I pulled the egg out of the box all was lost.  The sweet delicate smell hit me and I ate a big chuck out of the back so I could still salvage the rest for the pictures!  Ooooppps.  I am literally the biggest fan of chocolate ever and I have to say these little babies held up against my other more high end Easter treats.  Both eggs chocolate were deliciously creamy/smooth with no harsh bitter taste, paired with the textured high flavoured toppings made for a well rounded product. 

 

 

Summary

Lidl are always dropping little gems into stores.  I am a big fan of their seasonal items and I find their design work is very creative and unique to what other shores are doing at the minute.  I do all my shopping in Lidl and you just wont find anywhere else with such great quality fresh local produce.  To top that the staff couldn't be more helpful and polite, being someone with fibromaysia this is a really big deal for me.  If you haven't tried them out for your weekly shop take the plunge and do it. 

You can thank me later.

 

The only down fall about this post is I have to wait another year to get my hands on some more!

 

Peace and Love
