Easter Egg Hunts

Every Easter was a magical time as a child, as my sister and I would take part in Easter egg hunts either indoors or outdoors. The Easter eggs were hidden by the Easter bunny, and we would go on the hunt to find them. These chocolate eggs were hidden in bushes, on ledges, behind furniture or anywhere that you would least expect them to be.

My sister and I would frantically race around collecting as many Easter eggs as we could find. Of course it was never quite that easy, I always ended up with the least amount of chocolate eggs, as my sister had a sharp eye and she could run faster than me.

Easter egg hunts seemed a little unfair, as my sister was older than me, but despite that, seeking out chocolate eggs was a lot of fun. After the chocolate egg hunt was over we would put all the eggs together, and then mum would share them evenly amongst us. Sharing is always a good thing, thanks mum, but finding the Easter eggs was the part that I enjoyed the most.

Easter Egg Hunts

We had Easter egg hunts every year, but one year the Easter bunny had hidden all of the eggs in the garden. This year was so much fun, because I knew all the best hiding spots, as I use to spend hours in the garden. It was a memorable Easter as this year I had collected the most eggs.

Out of all the Easter eggs my favorite is still the chocolate bunny rabbit. The milk chocolate just melts away in your mouth. The best part of the chocolate rabbit is the ears, as the chocolate is so thick and yummy.

Besides this hollow chocolate bunny rabbit, we also received, round chocolate eggs filled with candy, sugar eggs or small hollow chocolate eggs wrapped in bright colored foil, just like the kids get today. From memory I’m sure ours tasted better as the chocolate wasn’t as sweet.

In the future when I have kids of my own, I plan to keep Easter egg hunts a tradition in my family, as it’s a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy.
