Notes on chocolate: elegant treats for when the Easter eggs are gone

There’s still time for a little sweetness after the big day

It’s Easter and this seems the right time to be talking about Christmas. Only joking! I’ll not be eating very much chocolate today because, see past columns and just how much Easter chocolate I have tested.

My big weakness at the moment is Luisa’s Sicilian Orange. Although for Easter this came in a flat egg or bunny shape (both were £10.50), it’s the bijou bar I really love, £5.25. It’s made using 75% cocoa chocolate (I would actually love it if Luisa went even higher in this), but with studs of candied Sicilian orange peel throughout. It’s the perfect mix. I tuck a little bar of this in my bag when I go travelling to keep me company and I know that, at 50g for the whole bar – the pieces are pleasingly chunky, it will last me two days. I do wish she’d do this in a bigger bar, but then it would spoil the mini-magic.
