Your support makes all the difference.With Easter just around the corner, the time for overindulging in novelty chocolates and hot cross buns will soon be upon us.
Supermarket shelves might have been jam-packed with kitschy cocoa delights for weeks already, but there is seldom a suitable option for grown ups, with the majority of Easter-themed products aimed at children.
Now, in the age of inclusivity, one gourmet chocolate is tackling this culinary prejudice with a range of alcohol-flavoured Easter eggs that are most definitely not suitable for little ones.
To the delight of grown-ups everywhere, The Treat Kitchen has released a gin and tonic-flavoured egg in honour of the chocolate-fuelled holiday.
Created to compliment their gummies and hard boiled sweets of the same flavours, the Nottingham-based confectionery company has also created a strawberry and prosecco-flavoured variation.
Both eggs are made from white chocolate and cost £9.95 each.
The Treat Kitchen is a small confectionery business run by husband and wife Martin and Jess Barnett, who designed the alcohol-infused eggs in a bid to appeal to mature chocolate consumers, describing it as an "Easter egg for the adults".
While a G&T Easter egg might seem like a revelation for happy hour and chocolate aficionados everywhere, alcohol-infused Easter treats have actually been around for quite some time.
Gourmet chocolatiers Prestat released a similar product last year: a London gin and lemon-infused Easter egg (£17.50), which consists of alcoholic truffles enclosed within a white chocolate casing.
Then there’s also Hotel Chocolat’s cleverly-named “Your Eggsellency” egg (£27), which comes complete with 12 truffles, each spiked with a different tipple from whisky to cognac.
So, if your Easter egg isn’t complete without a dash of the good stuff, fear not; evidently your options are aplenty.
