Galaxy Indulgence Large Egg - 210g

In Britain, Galaxy is the bar people reach for when they want the smooth one. Come Easter, the egg turns up in every supermarket aisle and corner shop, usually weeks before anyone is technically allowed to eat it.

People in Canada go looking for it because the name on the box is the name they remember. An Easter egg is mostly a memory with a foil wrapper, and if the memory says Galaxy, nothing else quite settles the argument.

It is a proper large egg, 210g of chocolate, boxed so it travels well and looks the part on the table. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from the radiator and the sunny windowsill, and it will wait patiently for Sunday. Whether it survives until Sunday is your business.

Plenty of people pick up a couple of Galaxy bars alongside it, because the egg goes faster than planned. Others add a second British egg so the cousins stop eyeing yours.
