Those with a love for coconut and chocolate will adore one of the products that Tesco is selling for Easter this year. 'The Coconut Egg' may be egg-shaped in form, but the chocolate treat takes inspiration from coconuts with a textured outer layer that's dused with cocoa powder. This outer layer can be cracked open to reveal an interior of milky Belgian white chocolate paired with a toasted coconut filling.
The tropical Easter egg is sold alongside a selection of bite-sized coconut truffles for even more enjoyment.
Like The Coconut Egg from Tesco, many of this year's chocolate Easter eggs are moving away from the use of traditional motifs and embracing unconventional forms and flavors.
