Overview
Just like Lego, dodgem cars and games arcades, no one ever grows out of Easter eggs. Sure, once you're no longer a kid, you know that they're an expensive way to eat chocolate. You know that regular old blocks of the stuff are sold in the same supermarkets at the same time, too. But, when the world becomes obsessed with oval-shaped sweet treats each year, a familiar feeling kicks in. Your tastebuds still want what they want — and they want something round and chocolatey.
In 2021, Mr Black has a new option to tempt your sweet tooth: dark chocolate Easter eggs filled with coffee liqueur caramel. Yes, they're the ideal option if you don't want to choose between a boozy beverage and chocolate — and you'd prefer to eat your dessert, not sip it.
Hand-painted and measuring just over six centimetres tall, the Mr Black Easter eggs are a collaboration with chocolatier Meltdown Artisan, and cost $20 each. Both Mr Black and Meltdown Artisan are selling them. Usually, the latter's eggs sell out, so getting in quickly is recommended.
If you decide to pick up some of Mr Black's coffee liqueur at the same time — or its bottled coffee negroni or old fashioned — you can also score a free egg if you spend over $50.
The coffee liqueur-filled Easter eggs are available for $20 from both Mr Black and Meltdown Artisan.
