# Ultra-Realistic Easter Eggs The Chocolate Trading Company's Treats Resemble Real Hen's Eggs By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-03-25 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hens-eggs References: [refinery29.uk](http://www.refinery29.uk/2017/03/146270/weirdest-easter-eggs) & [chocolatetradingco](http://www.chocolatetradingco.com/buy/chocolate-hens-eggs?gclid=CNzA1K2y59ICFYMaGwody-4CBA) Each year, there are countless [chocolate Easter eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-2025) created to look like real hen's eggs, but the resemblance usually only goes as far as a general shape. These eggs from the Chocolate Trading Company go above and beyond when it comes to mimicking real chicken eggs, calling them "as natural as a chocolate Easter egg can get." The chocolate treats are encased in real egg shells from French hens and are packaged in genuine egg cartons to add to the realism. Inside of the shells, the treats boast a filling of [milk chocolate, hazelnuts and almond pralines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deluxe-layered-eggs). Because there are shells that protect the treats inside, the Chocolate Trading Company recommends that one may heat the chocolate eggs slightly in the microwave to create a dip. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Natural Food Imitation:** Create food imitations that mimic the real thing as closely as possible. - **Hyper-realistic Packaging:** Design packaging that enhances realism and distinguishes your product from competitors. - **Creative Uses for Traditional Materials:** Explore new ways to use traditional materials to create unique and innovative products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food & Beverage:** Embrace natural food imitation as a way to stand out in the crowded food and beverage market. - **Packaging:** Invest in hyper-realistic packaging design to add value to your product and attract customers. - **Crafts & Gifts:** Explore new ways to use traditional materials to create unique and innovative crafts and gift items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Viral Chocolate Easter Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pistachio-kataifi-breton-egg.md) - [Paintable Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-kit-easter-edition.md) - [Artisan Easter Egg Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loeuf-gourmand.md) - [Cracking Pistachio Easter Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cracking-pistachio-easter-egg.md) - [Textural Flat Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnaw-chocolate-eggs.md) - [Luxurious Eco-Friendly Easter Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-giant-milk-chocolate-egg.md) - [Artisanal Springtime Chocolate Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-chocolat-easter-chocolate.md) - [Large Cream Chocolate Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creme-egg-2.md) - [Filled Chocolate Easter Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filled-chocolate-easter-eggs.md)
