Galaxy Ripple Giant Egg - 440g

Easter in Britain runs on chocolate eggs, and Galaxy has been one of the big names on the shelf for as long as most of us can remember. The Ripple is the one people get quietly territorial about: those folded, wavy layers that break with a proper snap.

If you grew up with a Galaxy Ripple egg on Easter Sunday, you will know why people come looking for this one. It is the box on the kitchen table, the foil peeled off before breakfast, and somebody announcing that chocolate counts as breakfast on Easter Sunday. Nobody ever argued.

This is the giant one, a 440g egg in a box that does its best to keep it in one piece. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from a sunny windowsill, and it will sit happily in the cupboard until the day. It is big enough to share round the family, or to hide from the family, depending on your character.

Galaxy makes plenty besides eggs, from the smooth bars and Ripple bars to Minstrels. Plenty of people add a few bars to the basket for the egg hunt, so the little ones have something to find and the giant egg stays safely with the grown-ups.
